Mario Mandzukic's quality is never in doubt. He is an experienced international player who has won important trophies in his career. That is why AC Milan took the opportunity to sign him on a free transfer.
The player, since arriving to Milanello, did not score yet, and one can argue that it is normal, he may need some time before he can regain his optimal form.
He is currently injured due to a muscle problem, and fans expect him to return soon in order to help Ibrahimovic and the rest of the group with his experience and attacking talent to stabilise the team.
In fact, according to what is reported in today's edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Stefano Pioli hopes to have the former Juventus man available soon.
Mario is a precious alternative for the attack: but he is struggling with a slight yet annoying muscle problem and the return should not be far away, his recovery time is expected to be fully defined at the beginning of next week.
