On Thursday, the AC Milan football club announced that his Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic has tested positive for coronavirus.
In a statement, the the Serie A club added that Ibrahimovic would miss the Europa League match against Bodo later today, noting that the player was promptly placed in quarantine at home.
As a result, it is expected that young striker Lorenzo Colombo will lead the line for the Rossoneri against the high-flying Norwegian side, with Pioli unable to call upon the suspended Ante Rebic or Rafael Leao, who is not yet back at fitness after recovering from COVID himself.
Meanwhile, Alessio Romagnoli, Mateo Musacchio, Leo Duarte and Andrea Conti are all also out, meaning Pioli has a selection nightmare on his hands if a defender gets injured.
