Biglia: I need games to get back to my best but it is tough to break into XI

Lucas Biglia accepts that while ‘I need games to get back to my best’, it will be ‘tough’ to break into Milan’s starting XI.

Biglia spent three months out with a calf injury earlier in the season but continued his comeback on Tuesday, playing the final four minutes of Milan’s 0-0 draw with former club Lazio in the Coppa Italia semi-finals.

“The team are moving forward, Bakayoko is proving to be a great player,” the midfielder said after the game.

“I’ll do my best for the team. The whistles? The important thing is the minutes I played.

“I understand the fans, I was here for four years. I had some beautiful moments here and some not so good ones.

“This is football. Now I’m defending another shirt and I’m only thinking about that. In terms of fitness I’m feeling great. The surgeon did a great job.

“I haven’t stopped. You need rhythm to get back to your best and I need to play, but that’ll be tough right now because the lads are doing well.”
