Milan, Pioli: "The rumours about Ibrahimovic are not affecting us. Paquetà is not available for Parma game"

After the 1-1 draw against Napoli at San Siro, Milan are looking to increase their points tally against Parma in the 14th matchday of Serie A on Sunday. Manager Stefano Pioli discussed the game and the available squad in the pre-match press conference: "We have to show the same spirit that we had in the last few games, but we have to increase our tecnique and quality levels. The players that will start tomorrow must show that they have the fire inside them, and this applies to the players that will come on from the bench."

"Piatek is well, but you will know tomorrow ih he starts or not. He can do better, every player in the team can do better. Everyone is available for selection with the exception of Paquetà, who didn't recover from the muscle problem he had earlier his week, and Duarte. Caldara is okay, but not well. He will play with the youth team to recover macth fitness. Bonaventura? Smart players like him can play in every role".

The coach then touched upon the rumours of a possible Ibrahimovic's comeback in January: "The rumours are not affecting anyone in our dressing room. We are focused on solely on what we are doing now. There's still time until the January transfer window".
