The center of AC Milan's attack for the upcoming Champions League Round of 16 clash with Tottenham is under a shroud of uncertainty.
In fact, French centre-forward Olivier Giroud's non-participation in today's training session due to a bout of flu has cast doubt on his availability for the match in London. The hope is that the French striker will recover in time for tomorrow morning's training session at Milanello, which is the final one before their departure to England in the afternoon. The Frenchman first experienced symptoms on Sunday and was absent from the Rossoneri's sports center today.
Though his condition is improving, it remains to be seen if he will participate in tomorrow's training. Regardless, Pioli may opt to take him to London anyway and assess his condition on the match day.
In the event of forfeiture, Croatian forward Ante Rebic, Belgian striker Divock Origi, and former Club Brugge starlet Charles De Ketelaere will vie for the starting center-forward position. The Giroud alert compounds the uncertainty surrounding Brahim Diaz's availability, as the Spaniard trained separately today while recovering from a sprain sustained prior to their trip to Florence, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport.
