Ibrahimovic injured his thigh in Milan’s victory at Napoli on November 22. it kept him from playing until last weekend, when he returned as a substitute against Torino, but the evergreen Swede was fit enough to start in Sardinia.
He wasted no time getting back among the goals, winning and converting a penalty in the seventh minute., before adding a second strong catch seven minutes into the second half, bringing his Serie A goals tally to 12 for the season, in just seven starts.
The only disappointing aspect of an otherwise comfortable victory for Milan was the late dismissal of substitute Alexis Saelemaekers for two yellow cards won in quick succession.
Milan have 43 points, three ahead of city rivals Inter Milan and 10 ahead of fifth-placed Juventus.
Cagliari remains 17th, just one point above the relegation zone. They are winless in their last 11 league games.
