Keita Balde is set to make a return to first team action this weekend having recovered from injury according to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Senegalese winger picked up a muscle injury in his thigh in January and has been sidelined ever since but is now on the verge of a complete recovery.

The 23-year-old will travel with the rest of the squad for the game away to Parma and in all likelihood he will start the match at the Stadio Ennio Tardini from the bench.

Keita Balde did not start life at the Nerazzurri all that convincingly but just prior to his injury he was really coming on to a game and it is no doubt hoped that he can recover to such a level as quickly as possible.

Since arriving on loan from Monaco back in the Summer, Keita Balde has made 21 appearances for the Nerazzurri in which he has scored four goals and tallied three assists in 811 minutes on the park.
