Zlatan Ibrahimovic is in line to start AC Milan's clash with Fiorentina and help reignite title bid, confirms boss Stefano Pioli after veteran striker made injury return in Europa League defeat by Manchester United

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is fit enough to start for AC Milan in their Serie A game against Fiorentina, coach Stefano Pioli said on Saturday.

The Swedish striker - Milan's top scorer this season with 14 league goals - hasn't featured in Serie A since suffering a muscular injury during a 2-1 win at AS Roma on February 28.

Ibrahimovic returned to action from the bench on Thursday as the Rossoneri lost 1-0 to Manchester United on their way to a 2-1 aggregate defeat in the Europa League Last-16.
