to face Carpi in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday, head coach
Sinisa Mihajlovic has confirmed.
The 25-year-old has not featured since the 1-0 defeat to Genoa
on September 27 due to a niggling groin problem.
Mihajlovic said after the 1-0 defeat to Bologna this month that
a lack of available options in attack has damaged his side's
form, but the return of Balotelli and positive news concerning
Jeremy Menez have given the under-fire coach a timely boost.
"Balotelli will be available for tomorrow's game," the coach said
on Tuesday.
"I hope Menez comes back soon. He is training with the group,
the important thing is that he doesn't feel any pain. He might
return before the end of January."
Mihajlovic has described the quarter-final clash with Carpi as
Milan's most important game of the season as they aim to lift
the trophy for the first time since 2003.
"It won't be easy against Carpi, they're a team who fight for 90
minutes, but tomorrow's match is the most important of the
season.
"The objective tomorrow is to progress, we're focused on this
match and if we play as I know we can then we have a good
chance of winning."
