AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has urged patience around Charles de Ketelaere.

The Swede made his comeback in victory over Atalanta on Sunday.

On his teammate, Ibrahimovic said: "I saw him well. I see myself in him, when I took my first step as a professional outside my country it wasn't easy. It is difficult for him to be away from his country and his family.

"Everyone is giving him a hand, then as soon as he unlocks he won't stop. He just has to unlock himself and do what the coach wants from him."

Asked about Serie A leaders Napoli, he also said: “He's doing well, it's no secret. It's an important moment, the whole team is doing well regardless of the individuals.

"They have a strong coach who hasn't won the Scudetto yet and this year it seems to me that everything is going in their direction."
