Olivier Giroud who suffered back pain which kept him out of the field for some time is now recovering well and could even take part of the next Serie A game against Verona, valid for matchday 8.
According to what is reported by SportMediaset, Giroud's physical condition is now better. He aims to play part of the match versus Hellas Verona. As for Ibrahimovic, the next few hours in training will be decisive to determine how ready he is.
But, we are more likely to see Zlatan play the game against Porto in matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage.
For Theo Hernandez, who tested positive to Covid-19, he could return in the match against AS Roma in the Serie A. Against Hellas Verona, though, Fodé Ballo-Touré is tipped to replace him on the left flank. But, it is not excluded that Davide Calabria would be moved to replace the French full-back.
The goalkeeper position would be for Tatarusanu. Rebic will be the starting centre-forward with Leao on the left, Saelemaekers on the right, and Brahim Diaz as the playmaker behind the striker.
3-4-2-1 : Gabbia, Rogmanoli, Tomori – Calabria/Kalulu, Tonali, Kessie / Benacer, Leao – Salae, Diaz, Rebic
without Mike, we need more protection ..
