Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 39, will probably not make it in time to be available for the match against Juventus this Sunday.
Certainly, Milan and Pioli will miss the services of Zlatan Ibrahimovic in such a big occasion against the Serie A rivals. The centre-forward has decided to "listen to his body" to avoid risky consequences.
This is what Zlatan said in yesterday's interview during 'Mind the Gum' interview: "I have a tendon problem and I don’t risk consequences. I want to keep fit for all season and think I’m not Superman."
Therefore, the choice for Stefano Pioli is now between either choosing Olivier Giroud as the striker or keep going with Ante Rebic.
The Croatian attacker may not start, writes Gazzetta dello Sport, however, in today's print edition because he is tired from the match at the Anfield while Giroud is now on pole position.
As for Pietro Pellegri, the young striker who came from Monaco this summer, he is making progress during training. In fact, the 20-year-old Italian forward could make his debut against Venezia.
