That sparked suggestions that Milan could try to bring Shevchenko back to a club where he is still hailed as a hero.

Ancelotti confirmed he will use 18-year-old Alberto Paloschi until Borriello recovers.

Ancelotti said: "Borriello has a problem which will be resolved quickly, so we will wait for him.
