Olivier Giroud and Theo Hernandez returned only yesterday to Milanello after reaching the World Cup final in Qatar. In the friendlies while they were gone, including the last game against PSV, Milan had to do without this duo.
The attacking department in particular worries as Olivier Giroud is the main striker given Rebic’s current state and form and Divock Origi’s physical condition. It remains to be seen if the former Chelsea and Arsenal star will be able to start from the first minute against Salernitana.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning’s edition, it is not excluded that the AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli tries a different solution in the offensive area. Belgian versatile attacking midfielder, Charles De Ketelaere, in fact, has played as a centre-forward before with Club Brugge and he might be used in that position against Salernitana to fill the role of Olivier Giroud.
