Stefano Pioli's AC Milan's plans for their upcoming match in London have been dealt a significant blow. Reports from Sky Sport Italia indicate that two key players will be unavailable for the encounter, leaving coach Stefano Pioli with a tricky conundrum to solve.
As he prepared to travel with his squad, Pioli was hopeful that all members would be at his disposal. However, the latest news suggests that two important pieces of his tactical puzzle will need to be monitored closely.
In the attacking third, Milan will be without the services of Olivier Giroud. The Frenchman, who was reported to have a fever yesterday evening, will be sorely missed. His natural replacement, Divock Origi, was also absent from training, compounding Pioli's problems.
As Milan contemplate how to replace these crucial attacking options, one name that is sure to be considered is that of Ante Rebic. The Croatian forward could be the answer to Pioli's prayers, as he looks to find a way to breach the London side's defense.
