AC Milan fullback Ignazio Abate is working hard to overcome his dislocated shoulder injury.

The Rossoneri face PSV Eindhoven next week in the first leg of their Champions League play-off.

"I've been working so hard," he told Milan Channel. "Today was the first day I worked with the rest of the team, so hopefully my shoulder responds well.

"I feel much better and my goal is to be ready for the Champions League."
