La Gazzetta dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) reports that both the Croatian striker and the Bosnian midfielder trained separately yesterday and will need a few more days of individual work and then some time training with the rest of the squad before they are in contention.
Rebic and Krunic are important for Pioli’s plans because the former can play the role of left winger and centre-forward to give the chance for forwards to rest, while the latter can replace either Sandro Tonali and Ismaël Bennacer in the double pivot.
The former Eintracht Frankfurt man also started the season well with a brace in the opening day win over Udinese, but has once again had any momentum halted by irritating injury issues.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Alessandro Florenzi are both are expected to return to the field in 2023, the paper adds.
