The 38-year-old Swedish striker has signed a six-month contract with Milan - a club he played for between 2010 and 2012 - after leaving LA Galaxy.

Ibrahimovic has scored 122 Serie A goals for Inter Milan, Juventus and Milan, who are 11th in the league.

He has been named in Stefano Pioli's squad for Monday's game at San Siro.

Ibrahimovic scored in a training-ground friendly against lower league Rhodense on Friday, which Milan won 9-0.

Meanwhile, vandals in his home city Malmo have toppled a statue of the player because he invested in another Swedish club, Hammarby, last year.
