Thiago Silva and Alexandre Pato could be back for Milan by December 27, claims MilanLab medical chief Daniele Tognaccini.
There were widespread fears last week that Silva would be out for six months after he suffered a meniscus lesion against Ajax in the Champions League, but the Rossoneri have confirmed the injury is not as serious as previously thought.
Silva is no point missing, but Pato will make the team stronger.
