In the "Serie A" league of Italy, the team occupying the 5th place will have to face the Scottish champions Glasgow in the UEFA Champions League round of 16 matches on Tuesday without their main striker, who has not yet recovered from a pulled muscle injury.
The 33-year-old striker's place should be taken by a young team player, 18-year-old Davide Di Gennaro, who has never played in the main "Milan" team in both the Italian "Serie A" championship and matches against foreign clubs.
The head coach Carlo Ancelotti will have to face the match against "Celtic" with only two main strikers of the club: Italian national team striker Alberto Gilardino and Brazilian Ricardo Oliveira, who joined "Milan" from "Betis" in Seville, Spain this summer.
At the end of January, another Brazilian player, Ronaldo, who joined Milan, will not be able to help the six-time European champions, as he played in the UEFA Champions League representing Real Madrid before moving to Italy.
Meanwhile, another player Marco Borriello will also not be able to help the Italian team, as he is disqualified due to a positive doping test.
