Two news from Milan: AC Milan temporarily loses Olivier Giroud because the French forward has tested positive for Covid, as the club has officially announced. He has tested positive to a molecular swab carried out at home.
On the other hand, Milan sees Timouè Bakayoko comeback after two years. The French midfielder, who chose the number 41 shirt, appeared at a press conference in Milanello after leaving SSC Napoli.
It is really bad news that Giroud won't be able to play because of being tested positive for covid. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also injured now. He has a knee injury and he is expected to return on September 10. Their next game is against Lazio and it is going to be played on September 12. I hope that Zlatan gets ready for this match to be able to play in the starting eleven. Otherwise, they would start with Rafael Leao to the game.
Giroud is also possible to play on 12 September because I know the treatment time for covid is about 2 weeks so if there are no obstacles Giroud is eligible to play
Or maybe Milan take another option because on 16 september they have an important game so both players like Ibrahimovic and Giroud are kept
