The 25-year-old last scored in Serie A against Hellas Verona in March.
Milan have 14 points in eight Serie A games.
Their next match is against Club Brugge in the Champions League at San Siro.
In another news, Juventus director Cristiano Giuntoli has confirmed that the club will terminate Paul Pogba’s contract.
According to Giuntoli, Pogba is now surplus to requirement in the team.
He said: “Pogba was a great player but we have different plans now. We’ve invested in different players and our team is now complete.”
Pogba’s second stint with the Italian giants will end, despite his initial four-year doping ban being reduced by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, CAS, to just 18 months.
This means the 31-year-old can restart training in January and will be playing competitive football again in March.
But Pogba is likely to continue his career away from Juventus, despite his current deal set to expire in June 2026.
In other news, Kylian Mbappé has vowed to take legal action for libel over the Swedish rape investigation which his name was linked to as his lawyer revealed on Friday.
The France captain, however, is “at ease” because “he has done nothing wrong”, lawyer Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard said.
A Swedish prosecutor said Tuesday that a rape investigation had been opened without mentioning Mbappé, following media reports that the Real Madrid and France star was the suspect following a visit with friends to Stockholm.
