According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Milan forwards are doing badly in the goal-scoring department with just one goal in nine games.
Zlatan-led Milan offensive department achieved many records in 2020, the striker scored in practically all the games. In recent weeks, however, something has changed and the goals scored by the forwards have dried up with injuries being a major factor. In the last nine games in all competitions, the Rossoneri have scored just once with Ante Rebic figuring on the score sheet against Roma.
Milan's problems with scoring are not just from the attackers but also from the attacking midfield department. In the last two months, Hakan Calhanoglu scored just once in the league: a penalty against Lazio. At the meantime, the others have not fared better given that Saelemaekers has scored just twice in Serie A, while Diaz, Castillejo, and Hauge are stuck with only one goal scored.
Finally, Pioli's team had managed to make up for Ibrahimovic's absence, which now feels too much and therefore his return to the field is increasingly fundamental. In this decisive moment of the season, Pioli needs Ibrahimovic to restore vitality to Milan's attack.
