According to reports, AC Milan will face Inter Milan on Wednesday night at San Siro in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals, promising a highly intense and thrilling match.

It appears that Stefano Pioli will once again have Walker available for this match. The English defender, who underwent surgery for a fractured elbow and missed recent games, is now in much better condition and recovering well.

There were even suggestions that Walker was eager to return for the match against Atalanta, but reports indicate that, as a precaution, he is more likely to be available only from the Coppa Italia derby onwards.

Eleven days ago, AC Milan announced in a statement that Walker would undergo surgery for a fractured elbow. However, it now seems he is ready to return much earlier than expected, despite initial concerns that he might not be able to play for Milan for the rest of the season.
