Former AS Roma defender Philippe Mexes is desperate to kickstart his AC Milan career.
The France international has been out of action for four months after undergoing knee ligament surgery when he was still a Roma player.
"I am slowly getting back in shape and tried touching the football for the first time this week," he told Milan Channel.
"It was nice to have that feeling again, as I hadn't gone near a football in four months, but I feel a bit frustrated. I know what I'm like and this much time away has been tough. I can't take it anymore.
"But I know I have to go slowly and avoid relapses. Once the pain has gone, I will be at Coach Massimiliano Allegri's disposal, which I think will be within two or three weeks."
