On May 19, 2022, Simon Kjær joined a training session with his AC Milan teammates. The Danish defender was seen on Milanello in April 2022 for the first time after his heavy injury, but was confined to training alone. Now Simon Kjær is officially reunited with his teammates on the training field, which means that he is one step closer to coming back.
Simon Kjær posted a picture on Twitter, on which we can see him running next to his Milan teammate Franck Kessié. "Good day at training today .. still some work to do", said Simon Kjær.

On April 11, 2022, Simon Kjær returned at a Milan training session for the first time.
He was still training alone back then.
A few days later, Simon Kjær showed up at San Siro
for the first time after his heavy knee injury, watching Milan against Genoa.
Fact check: He got injured during the away match against Genoa, on December 1, 2021. Coincidence?
In the meantime he has attended Milan matches several times. After the 2-0 win against Atalanta we saw
him hugging and jumping with his teammates. Like this:

Now that his knee is getting better and better, the question is: When will we finally see Simon Kjær in a Milan or Denmark jersey again? It is said that
Simon Kjær will return in August 2022.
His goal is to be ready for pre-season with his team mates. Which also means that he will be ready to join the
Danish national team for the World Championship in Qatar.
