Zlatan Ibrahimovic will now be 'working overtime'. The 40-year-old veteran striker played the full 90 minutes against Fiorentina and entered the field against Atlético Madrid to replace Olivier Giroud who was out due to injury around the 66th minute.
In fact, Olivier Giroud suffered a problem with his thigh flexor during the second hald and could not continue. Now, Ibrahimovic will be playing many more minutes than usual until the French is ready to play again.
According to the Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, in today's print edition, it is now definitely Pietro Pellegri's chance to earn a spot within Pioli's lineup in Serie A. He is not registered in the Champions League squad, but he will earn some important minutes in the league and he will try his best to impress and carve out some space for himself.
