<span class="titolo">Ancelotti: We Are Missing Ronaldo</span></p> <span class="sommario">Milan boss Carlo Ancelotti has admitted that the team is suffering in the absence of star striker Ronaldo.</span></p> El Fenomeno has yet to play this season due to a knee injury and the Rossoneri have struggled badly to score goals without him. </p> The only other two senior strikers in Milan’s first team squad are Filippo Inzaghi and Alberto Gilardino. </p> Inzaghi is now 34 and has failed to hit the back of the net since the 2-1 victory over Benfica on September 18. He has also not scored in Serie A for 10 months. </p> Gilardino has struggled too for most of the campaign and was booed and jeered by his own supporters after going the first nine matches in all competitions without scoring. </p> Although Gila has recently improved, very few see the ex-Parma man as the long-term solution to Milan’s requirements up-front. </p> “Certainly at the moment his [Ronaldo’s] absence is hurting us.” confessed Ancelotti. </p> “However I am sure we can solve our problems without him.” </p> Ancelotti also confirmed that Massimo Oddo, who missed Sunday’s defeat to Roma, will not recover in time for tonight's match at Sampdoria. </p> “Oddo will not recover, however Emerson is now available again.” the ex-Parma tactician concluded.</p> </p> </p>
