Inter Milan captain Javier Zanetti won't rush his comeback.
The Argentine, 40, is recovering from an Achilles operation.
"My latest medical checks went well, now I'll increase the workload so I can get back to my best," he stated.
"By November? We'll see. The main thing is to come back in the right state. As soon as possible, but in the right state. I really miss being on the pitch."
