Riccardo Montolivo returns from broken leg after 6-month absence

AC Milan finally has its captain back.

Midfielder Riccardo Montolivo made his first competitive appearance in six months during Sunday's 2-0 victory over Udinese, playing for the first time since suffering a broken tibia in Italy's World Cup preparations in June.

Montolivo came off the bench to play the final minute of the contest, much to the delight of the San Siro faithful.
