As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper in this morning's print edition, Ibrahimovic will not play the derby tomorrow and the most optimistic hypotheses say that he could return to the field on Friday against Torino.
Certainly, his second round will be made up more of clips - 15 minutes to go, 30 minutes in the second half - than of games as a starter.
The Champions League remains a curse for the Swede. Pioli has excluded him from the UEFA list and even if Milan overtake Tottenham, Zlatan Ibrahimovic would be forced to watch the other matches from the stands.
