Serie A: Zlatan Ibrahimovic Injury Blow For AC Milan Before Derby
AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has been ruled out of Saturday's crucial derby clash against Inter with an Achilles tendon problem, coach Stefano Pioli said. The 40-year-old Swede has not yet recovered from the right leg injury suffered in a goalless draw against Juventus on January 23, with Croatian forward Ante Rebic also sidelined with an ankle injury. "For Zlatan to be missing is disappointing," said Pioli. "We've come a long way with him but we have to show that we're also strong without him."
