Sunday should have been the day that Zlatan Ibrahimovic return to the field after the injury sustained a month ago with the Swedish national team, but instead he picked up another problem.

La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) write this morning that Stefano Pioli had already made the decision to bring Ibrahimovic on for the final few minutes against Lecce and so the Swede was warming up on the sidelines, but at a certain point he was forced to stop and go back to the changing rooms.
It is another big blow for Zlatan who wanted to do his bit to help the team towards qualification for the next edition of the Champions League. In the next few hours he will undergo some tests to verify the extent of yet another injury, but the feeling is that at best he will be back towards the end of the season.
Milan and Ibra have not yet scheduled a meeting to talk about the striker’s future and his current contract expires on June 30. It is true that a renewal could be offered with a very low salary, but the issue is simply not a priority for the management.
In the summer Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara will in all likelihood invest in a striker to support Giroud and therefore there may no longer be room for Zlatan, whose body seems to be giving him signs.
