Tests clear star to play again

– Croatian international defender Ivan Strinic has been given the all clear to return to training after being diagnosed with a heart condition, his Serie A club AC Milan confirmed this week.

The 31-year-old – a key member of the Croatian team that reached the World Cup final this summer – signed a three-year deal with Milan in July but has not yet featured.

A routine check-up last August discovered the former Napoli and Sampdoria player was suffering from a heart condition and would need to take a break.

But the club said the player was given the green light after undergoing medical tests. –
