After the draw against Genoa, Milan prepare to face Sassuolo at San Siro on Sunday, as the Rossoneri hope to return to winning ways after two consecutive draws. Milan's coach Stefano Pioli discussed his team's situation and the injured players in the pre-match press conference:
"We face a quality, well-coached team, which plays an offensive brand of football. we have to be sharp tactically, we have respect Sassuolo. Ibrahimovic? It was a tough day. Before yesterday's training we were confident he could be available and get some minutes. It was all good, then this problem came up. Ibrah had an incredible desire to come back, but he is strong and he will come back stronger"
"Rebic didn't score in our last two games - continued Pioli - but only because of great saves from the goalkeepers or bad luck. On Wednesday he was subbed off with a foot injury, he didn't train in the last few days and today we have our last training before the match. I hope he will be available. Transfers? The meeting with Maldini happened before our last two games. The January transfer window is getting closer and we have to assess the situation. Zlatan's injury will not have an impact on our evaluations, I think that there's the chance to improve our team, we will but we have to see if there will be the opportunity to do so".
