"As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) recall, back in the summer of 2002 Luka Modric signed his first professional contract with Dinamo Zagreb. He was about to turn 17, and it was the dawn of a brilliant and incredibly successful career. In Cham, Switzerland, Jashari was born to an Albanian family from the Polog region of North Macedonia. Fate dictated that today, at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, he would inherit the Milan regista role from the 2018 Ballon d'Or winner."
"More than to see Jashari's qualities, it will be an opportunity to assess his physical condition. When he arrived, he had basically been sidelined for a month and a half. He played 45 minutes and was injured for two months. I'm also curious to see his fitness level."
"Jashari's Milan career so far is limited only 24 minutes as a substitute against Bari, another Coppa Italia outing, and his first 16 minutes in the league against Cremonese. His first appearance came in place of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, the second for Modric, 101 days ago. Jashari needs to find his rhythm, as Massimiliano Allegri admitted: Ardon has been training on the field since the end of October, while for exactly a month he's been watching from the bench as his team-mates won against Roma, Inter and Lazio in the league, and drew in Parma. Ninety minutes spent on the bench for four games."
Ardon Jashari, 23, will start for AC Milan in the Coppa Italia against Lazio, taking the regista role previously occupied by Luka Modric. Jashari was born in Cham, Switzerland, to an Albanian family from the Polog region of North Macedonia. He joined Milan for around €33m but has only logged 24 substitute minutes in the Coppa Italia and 16 league minutes so far. A summer collision with Santiago Gimenez caused an injury and interrupted his preseason; he has trained since late October and has been on the bench during several key wins. Milan mapped a careful recovery path, and Jashari previously operated as a central midfielder at Club Brugge and Luzern.
