MN: Pioli to field unprecedented attacking trio vs. Fiorentina out of necessity

AC Milan’s trend of picking up at least one new injury per week continued as Noah Okafor faces at least a couple of weeks out, and that will see an unprecedented trident take to the field against Fiorentina.

MilanNews recall that Okafor suffered an injury to his right hamstring while away on international duty with Switzerland, which will be checked again in a week and will therefore probably keep him out for at least a fortnight.

Rafael Leao, Noah Okafor and Olivier Giroud will not be available on Saturday evening against Fiorentina therefore, and that leaves head coach Stefano Pioli a little bit bereft of choice for the attacking department.

If Pioli would have perhaps liked to have fielded Okafor down the middle with Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic flanking him, it now seems that the Chukwueze-Jovic-Pulisic trio will be used out of necessity, and it would be the first time those three have led the attack from minute one.

  1. I think it could work out ,and somehow I believe we will win the game ,even without Rafeo leao and Olivier Giroud……I just hope Loftus cheek will be ready to play as he will make a difference…
