MILAN: AC Milan could only labour a goalless draw with Chievo in Serie A action on Saturday, leaving them ninth in the table, three off a potential European qualifying spot.
Welcoming back French defender Philippe Mexes after a three-game ban, Milan missed the chance to go up the table despite a third match undefeated.
In a tight match, Keisuke Honda had a chance for Milan in the 48th minute, while there was almost an own goal after Chievo's Alex saw a shot deflected off a defender past Milan goalkeeper Diego Lopez.
