Milan forward Niang aims to be back for Italian Cup final
REUTERS - AC Milan forward M'Baye Niang is aiming to be back in action for next week's Italian Cup final against Juventus after recovering from an ankle ligament injury.
The 21-year-old suffered the injury in a car accident and had to undergo surgery in March.
"My goal is to be available for the final. I am starting to find my feet and I still have 10 days to be at my best," Niang told the club's television channel on Thursday.
Milan, seventh in the league, face third-placed AS Roma on Saturday in their last Serie A game of the season.
The Italian Cup final is on May 21.
