Francesco Camarda has returned to the Rossoneri bench after more than four months of absence. The midfielder, who had to wait 282 days before starting to play again as a starter, resumed his position with the Milan shirt in the match against Vis Pesaro, which ended on the last day of the regular season. The last time the attacker played a starting role with Milan dates back to 27 April 2025, when he faced the Pesaro team in a match that saw Milan draw 1-1.
Camarda's long break was caused by a shoulder injury, which kept him off the field for a long period. After his return at the end of April, the striker had to compete to return to play, but ended up only being used in reserve minutes. His only start for the Rossoneri before this return was on 9 November 2024, when he started the match against Cagliari, which ended in a 3‑3 draw. During that match, Camarda was replaced in the 66th minute by Tammy Abraham.
With the arrival of Paulo Fonseca as new coach, Camarda's situation has changed. Fonseca decided to give the midfielder the chance to return to the pitch as a starter, recognizing his value for the team. The attacker showed good physical form and demonstrated that he is ready to contribute to Milan's success, especially after his long absence.
Milan, which has gone through a turbulent season, is trying to consolidate its structure in view of the next competitions. Camarda's return as a starter is a positive sign for the team, which hopes to use his experience and talent to improve the standings. With Fonseca in charge, Milan aims to make the most of the available resources and build a competitive team for next season.
