AC Milan striker Stephan El Shaarawy says his recovery from a foot injury is progressing well.

El Shaarawy is fighting to get back to full fitness.

"I'm recovering well. I'm going through this injury in a more peaceful and calm way, because I've already had an experience like this in the past, so I know how to deal with it better.

"In the morning I have treatment on my foot, do some upper body work and eat at Milanello, then if there is time I play pool as a distraction."
