Zlatan Ibrahimovic will make a decision on whether to retire from football after undergoing successful surgery on a serious left knee issue which had been aggravating him for many months, according to reports in Italy.
The legendary Swedish striker, 40, came off the bench as AC Milan won their first Serie A title in 11 years with victory over Sassuolo on Sunday. He went under the knife in Lyon just three days later, with the surgery carried out by Doctor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet, an expert in knee ligament operations.
A statement on Milan's official website reads: "The arthroscopy had been planned for a while to definitively resolve the joint's instability through the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament, with lateral reinforcement and meniscus reparation. The operation was a complete success and the prognosis is estimated between seven and eight months."
