AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli admits they face a test today against Hellas Verona.

Milan will meet Verona without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who has been hut by flu.

Pioli remarked, “We brought in players of quality and experience, but also interesting young prospects. Whoever plays instead of Ibrahimovic tomorrow, he will do well, and it's not the system that decides victory.

“We've turned a corner lately because the team understood that only with the spirit of sacrifice can we achieve a win. It was a good January, but that is behind us now and we have new important games to play."
