Expected to return at end of March Milner (thigh) is expected to return after the March international break, as manager Roberto De Zerbi stated, "Pedro and Milner I hope will be back after the international break." Impact Milner has now missed the last month and a half of play due to a thigh issue, but it appears he will only need a couple more weeks before he is back on the field, as he is now expected to return against Liverpool on March 31. This will be a nice addition back into the squad for the club, as despite not being an everyday starter, the midfielder is still a decent option for depth, being able to start and play in multiple positions when healthy. When he does return, he most likely will need a few matches off the bench before getting the start, as at the age of 38, the club will not want to risk aggravating the issue, taking his addition back to the team cautiously.
