Milito focused on recovery

Diego Milito has stressed he is not thinking about retiring or leaving Inter and is completely focused on returning to full match fitness.

The Argentine striker sustained a serious knee injury in the Europa League match against Cluj in February, leading to speculation that he could hang up his boots or leave the Serie A club for a return to his native country.

But Milito says returning to the pitch is the only thing on his mind for now.

“My future? I expect to start playing again. There’s just one goal in my head right now and that’s to try and make a good recovery and get back on the pitch,” Milito told Inter Channel.

“Will I end my career at Inter? I honestly don’t know. I’ve always said that I’d like to go back to Argentina and play with the club I started with. You never know.

“Now I’m focused on recovering and getting back on the pitch. I don’t know what will happen after that.”

The 33-year-old attacker has scored nine goals in 20 Serie A appearances this term.
