AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed
Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko will not be returning to the
Serie A club this summer.
The Italian giants had reportedly hoped to bring the
Ukrainian striker back to Milan as a replacement for striker Marco
Borriello, who sustained a knee injury during training at the
weekend and faces at least two months on the sidelines after
undergoing surgery.
But Ancelotti said on Thursday: "Borriello has a problem which
will be resolved quickly, so we will wait for him.
"Shevchenko will play at Chelsea this season."
Milan are on their way to Moscow where they will take on Primera
Liga side Sevilla before meeting the winner of the clash between
Lokomotiv Moscow and Chelsea on Sunday.
Ancelotti revealed that 18-year-old striker Alberto Paloschi
would deputise for Borriello in Milan's starting line-up for both
games.
"Besides Kaka, Paloschi remains our only striker available, so
he will play the next two games that are important tests against
strong teams," he added.
Milan signed Ronaldinho earlier this month from Barcelona but
the midfielder is with the Brazil team preparing for the Olympic
Games.
