Milik steps up knee injury comeback

Arkadiusz Milik has begun working with the ball as the Napoli forward continues his return from a serious knee injury.

After arriving at Stadio San Paolo from Ajax as the replacement for Gonzalo Higuain in the off-season, Milik made a strong start by scoring seven goals from nine appearances in Serie A and the Champions League.

In some welcome news for head coach Maurizio Sarri, Milik appears on track for a relatively swift return, with Napoli tweeting a video on Sunday showing the star striker working with the ball in training for the first time in his rehabilitation. 

In Milik's absence, Napoli are fourth in Serie A, with a home match against Dynamo Kiev coming up in the Champions League on Wednesday.
