Diego Milito is closer to his competitive comeback after scoring in Inter’s 2-2 friendly draw with Lugano.

The test at the Nerazzurri training ground took place this morning with two halves of 35 minutes each.

Diego Milito has made his comeback six months after snapping knee ligaments. “The worst is behind me.”

The striker played 45 minutes for the Inter Primavera youth team this afternoon, his first official game since February.

“The worst is behind me,” he told Inter Channel.

Inter striker Diego Milito has conceded that he is itching to return to playing after months in rehabilitation.

The Argentine striker suffered a cruciate ligament injury earlier this year, and the forward has insisted that he is working towards some sort of fitness.

“I am improving slowly,” he told Inter Channel. “I’m working hard, but after so many months out, the desire to return is immense.

Diego Milito has his sights set on a comeback against Juventus after his devastating injury. “I couldn’t have saved Inter, though.”

Diego Milito is confident new boss Walter Mazzarri can revive the fortunes of Italian giants Inter.

Mazzarri left Napoli for San Siro last month after Andrea Stramaccioni was axed following a ninth-place finish in Serie A.

After knee ligament damage in February, Diego Milito is reportedly on track to return to full fitness for Inter by the start of October.

The Argentine caught his studs in the turf during the opening exchanges of play against Cluj in mid-February, damaging the anterior cruciate and collateral ligaments in his left knee.

Inter striker Diego Milito has insisted that his side can make the Europa League places come the end of the season.

The Nerazzurri are currently sat in eighth place in Serie A, five points adrift of Roma in fifth.

Diego Milito is a better striker than Napoli’s Edinson Cavani, says Inter teammate Andrea Ranocchia.

Diego Milito has thanked the Inter fans after the devastating knee injury that ruled him out for at least six months. “The first few days were very hard.”

The Argentine international damaged knee ligaments and a tendon during the Europa League match with Cluj on February 14.
