Barcelona defender Milito back in action

MADRID (AFP) - Argentine defender Gabriel Milito returned to action after an 18-month injury lay-off on Wednesday as Barcelona defeated Bolivar CF of Bolivia 4-1 in a friendly match.

"It's a very special day for me," said the 29-year-old Milito, who suffered knee ligament damage in the Champions League semi-final defeat to Manchester United in 2008.
