Gattuso cleared to resume training

Veteran AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso has been cleared to resume training following an eye problem. The 33-year-old FIFA World Cup™ winner has not played in two months due to the problem which has left him with an accentuated squint. But after meeting a specialist in Bologna, Milan said their combative midfielder is closing in on a return. "Noticeable progress has been made and the footballer has received the green light to start training with the team," said a statement from Milan. Gattuso has played only two matches this season, including August's Supercup in China.
