Luka Jovic is set to make his first start for AC Milan as Stefano Pioli aims to rotate his squad for the trip to face Cagliari on Wednesday night, a report claims.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News), Jovic is going to get a chance to impress from the first whistle against Cagliari which naturally suggests that Olivier Giroud will get a rest.
This would be the first time that the Serbian starts for the Rossoneri after he signed from Fiorentina on a one-year deal at the very end of the summer transfer window.
It will be a major relief for Pioli if he is able to give Giroud a meaningful rest whilst still having a striker on the pitch who helps the team and perhaps grabs a goal.
It was clear against Verona that Giroud cannot cope with the fixture list which is very understandable given he is 36 years old.
