OK, it is just with the Milan primeverva team, but it is nice for him
to get some competative action (and a big victory to boot ;-) ). I
hope he will be sufficiently in form to face Roma next weekend.
Serginho is also making his competative comback in the same game. I
don't know if he will be in form enough to start games, but if he
regain anything near his 05/06 form, he will be extremely useful as a
tactical option off the bench in the coming crucial games against
Roma and Bayern.

Nesta makes Milan comeback Saturday 24 March, 2007
Alessandro Nesta and Serginho ended their injury nightmares by making
their comebacks for the Milan Primavera team today and could face
Roma.
"The test went well and now we are waiting for our Serie A return
too," said the Italian international.
Serginho is yet to feature this season and some thought his career
was over due to a serious back problem, while Nesta has been out of
action for three months.
Both were fielded in Coach Filippo Galli's Primavera youth
championship game against Cagliari today, in which the Rossoneri won
6-0. As there is no reserve team in Italy, injured players regain
fitness with the youth side.
"If Carlo Ancelotti calls me, then I have no problem playing," added
Nesta. "I feel ready to play and I cannot wait to extend my contract
with Milan."
Ancelotti was in the stands and also seemed convinced that their
injury nightmares are finally over.
"Both Nesta and Serginho went well after such long lay-offs. We will
see how they work in training this week, but I believe they are ready
for the game with Roma."
That tie will be played next Saturday evening in a crucial battle for
Champions League spots.
