AC Milan hopes to recover Olivier Giroud for Saturday's derby, and there is optimism around Milanello regarding this.
In any case, whether the Frenchman will be there or not, there might be room for the latest addition to the Rossoneri, Luka Jovic. So much so that Tuttosport chose the following headline in this morning's print edition:
"Milan, Jovic the secret weapon of the derby? He shines against Inter."
After just a year at Fiorentina, Jovic was out of Fiorentina's plans and in the final few hour of the mercato, he signed for AC Milan.
Already on Saturday, he could be called upon to showcase his skills because he is Giroud's deputy in the team. And he has already caused trouble for Inter in the past: last year with Fiorentina, but also a few seasons ago when he eliminated the Nerazzurri from the Europa League while playing for Eintracht Frankfurt.
