Antonio Cassano to return in six months

AC Milan striker Antonio Cassano has revealed that he will be ready to play in six months following heart surgery.

The 29-year-old underwent an emergency operation after he collapsed during the Rossoneri's game against Roma at the end of October.

Despite a date for his comeback, the Italian international will miss the end of the current Serie A season and Euro 2012.

"I have to wait six months to play," he said. "Until then, walk, walk, walk."

Cassano joined Milan from Sampdoria in December 2010.
