Milik could return for Napoli this month

Hopes of featuring against Real Madrid could be fulfilled for the Napoli striker, who could be back on the pitch in two weeks

Arkadiusz Milik has been cleared to return to full training with his Napoli team-mates and could feature competitively this month, according to the club doctor.

Milik mounted a strong start to life at the Stadio San Paolo with seven goals in nine appearances in all competitions, but had to undergo surgery after sustaining an anterior cruciate knee ligament injury while on international duty with Poland in October.

The 22-year-old began training with the ball in November and last month expressed his hope to be available for the Champions League tie with Real Madrid, the first leg of which takes place at the Santiago Bernabeu on February 15.
