Chukwueze, Jovic to lead AC Milan attack against Fiorentina

Samuel Chukwueze alongside Luka Jovic are set start in attack as AC Milan deal with a crisis with Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao out of Fiorentina clash.

Giroud is serving a two-game suspension and Leao is recovering from a hamstring injury, meaning they will both be unavailable on Saturday. Initially, it seemed Noah Okafor would take the No.9 spot but that won’t be the case.

According to reports, Pioli will not hand a disappointing Jovic the chance from start instead of Okafor, but sadly, the latter returned injured from international duty with Switzerland .

In addition Jovic, Chukwueze should also get the nod as he’s another player who needs to step up. He’s expected to play on the right flank, meaning Christian Pulisic will be on the left.

At the last count, the Nigeria international has just one assist so far, and Milan need him to step up now more than ever.

The Rossoneri paid €20m plus an additional €8m in bonuses for his services and so far, it has been a disappointing outcome. However, there is still plenty room left of the campaign for Chukwueze to turn the corner.
