Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shared footage of his tattooed bum twitching as the AC Milan striker received electrotherapy.
The 40-year-old Swede is yet to feature for the Italian champions this season as he continues his recovery from a devastating knee injury, which many predicted could end his career. However, Ibrahimovic, who turns 41 next Monday, is stepping up his comeback and has posted a clip to Instagram of his latest round of electrotherapy treatment.
In the video, Ibrahimovic shows off his hidden tattoos as his bare bum twitches whilst receiving multiple electric shocks as part of the innovative method of recovery.
The footage was posted to his Instagram story for his 55 million followers to view and showed that Ibrahimovic's backside is covered in just as many tattoos as the rest of his body. He previously described having tattoos as "like a drug" in his autobiography.
It is hoped that the former Manchester United star will be able to come back from his latest injury set back and return for Milan this season.
He has dismissed any talk of retirement since the injury lay-off, telling Gazzetta dello Sport: "I am arrogant, zero fear. I'm well, I'm working every day to come back. You will surely see it.
What is Zlatan Ibrahimovic's best ever goal? Let us know in the comments section below.
"When I come back, I will be heard, you can count on it. I will do it with violence. Patience is needed, that's the key now. I'm not going to retire, I'm coming back and I won't give up. If I see a player stronger than me, I'll stop. But I haven't seen him yet."
Ibrahimovic is also set to make his movie debut in the new year after being cast as Roman centurion Oneofus in Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom.
His appearance in the film was confirmed this week with the release of the first trailer. The film is set to be released in February 2023.
Fans were also treated to a display of Ibrahimovic's impressive car collection at the weekend as he arrived at a Milan Fashion Week show in a slick Porsche.
