AC Milan coach Pioli admits Lecce a must-win after Juventus development

AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits their clash with Lecce today is a must win.

Milan have been pushed out of the top four after Juventus had their 15 point penalty scrapped on appeal.

Pioli said, “It is important to win, it is much more so now. We can finish this season well. There are eight games left, five of which at San Siro, we have to finish the season well for the qualities we have.

"Now we think about the league, we have four games, and we know we have to push hard. The current position in the table is not the one we want in the end.

“Ibra will be called up, limited autonomy, but he's fine. Giroud won't be there, he's had a bit of a strain on his calf tendon in recent games. Pobega picked up a knock today, we'll see tomorrow."
