Redondo close to Milan debut - again
Redondo moved after playing in the Champions League triumph for Real in 2000, but his career since has been a catastrophic tale of long-term injury and premature optimism.
However, the forgotten man of Milan has insisted that he is close - again - to pulling on the famous Rossoneri shirt.
"My knee feels better and I have not had any problems with it," said Redondo.
"Now I will start the real preparation.
"I'm not going to set a definite date for a return - that is not important right now.
"But I can say that I will definitely be back.
"I have a massive will to get back on the pitch - and a huge desire to be called up."
