Philippe Mexes finally looks set to make his AC Milan debut this weekend, following his summer switch from Roma.

Mexes joined the Rossoneri on a free transfer this summer, but has been sidelined ever since the move.

The France defender, who has been out of action for six months with a knee injury, is set to return this weekend.

"I'm 100 per cent and I will be at the San Siro to play against Palermo," Mexes told Corriere dello Sport.

Milan have endured a slow start to the campaign, having mustered just five points from their opening five league games.

"It has been a difficult time but I'm sure we will pick ourselves up," Mexes said.

Milan lost 2-0 at Juventus last time out and lie 15th in the standings.
