With regard to his knee, in which Milito tore a ligament in 2001, Barcelona's team doctor said “Since then he’s worked on the muscles and done specific training that has permitted him to play quite normally during the last few years. At present he has to keep working on the knee but he’s fit to play top flight football”.
