MILAN, Italy (Reuters) - AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not Superman and will not recover from injury in time to face Juventus away in Serie A on Sunday, coach Stefano Pioli has said.

The veteran Swede made his comeback last weekend from a knee injury picked up in May, scoring the winner for Milan against Lazio, but missed their midweek Champions League defeat at Liverpool with an Achilles problem.
