AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli says Zlatan Ibrahimovic may start against Fiorentina today.
Ibrahimovic was only able to play 30 minutes against Manchester United after three weeks out of action with a thigh strain, but the lack of alternatives means he should start.
“I don't know if he has 90 minutes in his legs, but his presence is important and he'll make a big difference. We are aiming for the top, we're in the running and must try to win every remaining match," said Pioli.
“I think tomorrow might be the most complicated of them all, both because Fiorentina are in good shape, and we are coming off a very tiring run of games. I am sure we'll step up a gear after the break for international duty."
This is a return to the Stadio Franchi for Pioli, who had an emotional stay with the Viola, and also gave current hitman Dusan Vlahovic his debut.
“Vlahovic has grown very well. I always appreciated his incredible work ethic, because when you train like that, you are destined to improve.
“He's a very good centre-forward, but he's still young and it's not helpful to make comparisons. I hope he continues on this form – but from the next game.
“I experienced a great deal in Florence as a player and then a coach, then of course the tragedy of what happened to Davide Astori leaves its mark. It can never be a normal match.
“Florence and Fiorentina are more than opponents. Last year, the welcome I received when I returned there filled me with joy."
