AC Milan goalkeeper Christian Abbiati says Stephan El Shaarawy still has much to learn.

El Shaarawy has been one of the few bright points for Milan this season.

"He had a great game against Cagliari, but he still has a lot of improvements to make though as he has to grow.

"This is a point of departure for him and not a point of arrival…"
