Milan [Italy], 14 September (ANI): AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the UEFA Champions League (UCL) match against Liverpool FC on Wednesday after suffering an early injury.
The former striker Manchester United, Barcelona, Inter Milan and Juventus are resting as a precaution after feeling pain in the Achilles tendon during training on Tuesday morning, according to Sky Sports.
The 39-year-old Swedish striker will now not play any role in the European heavyweight match at Anfield for AC Milan. The trip to Liverpool will be Rossoneri’s first Champions League match since Atletico Madrid was eliminated from the competition in the round of 16 in March 2014.
It is noteworthy that Liverpool and AC Milan have only met on two occasions in European competitions, and both matches are Champions League finals. The Reds won on penalties in 2005, but Rossoneri got revenge with a 2-1 victory in Athens in 2007.
AC Milan’s last victory against an English team was in February 2012, when they beat Arsenal 4-0 in the Champions League. (ANI)
