As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, there were speculations in recent days that the AC Milan coach may rotate the squad, but he is set to confirm the team that played on Wednesday in London against Tottenham, almost in its entirety, tonight against Salernitana at San Siro.
The only alteration is the inclusion of Belgian winger Alexis Saelemaekers on the right due to Junior Messias' injury against Spurs, which will sideline him for a month. Besides that, there will be no changes, and Olivier Giroud will once again lead the Milan attack.
Despite playing extensively in recent weeks, Pioli will rely on the French striker, leaving Ibrahimovic, Origi, and Rebic to start from the bench. While the Swede's absence can be "justified" due to a long injury stop, the other two are having a rather disappointing season. Consequently, Giroud will be forced to work overtime once again to help the club and coach make a step forward towards reaching the second place in the Serie A standings.
