Saturday is approaching and for that reason the challenge against Monza is also approaching, which brings with it much fascination especially for Berlusconi's return to the San Siro as president of another club. Pioli, however, cannot think about amarcord moments and studies the eleven to defeat a team that appears in great shape since Palladino's arrival. The Rossoneri coach has to deal with absences but can smile at some welcome returns.
Ouch Maignan, come on Kjaer
According to this morning's Corriere dello Sport report, Simon Kjaer, who had to stop after the Empoli win because of a muscle-related discomfort, could return to the squad. The Danish center back did all of his training yesterday with the group and will likely return to Pioli's disposal starting from the bench. On the other hand, who has stopped again, as is now known, is Mike Maignan who may have ended his 2022 Rossoneri. Therefore, the interregnum of Ciprian Tatarusanu, who has always played as a starter since after the national team break, is prolonged to replace him. With the Romanian goalkeeper, Milan in the league this season has never lost while it fell in the Champions League. Returning to Kjaer, it is more likely that the Dane could see himself back on the field or in contention for a starting spot in the match against Dinamo when the Rossoneri will also have to do without disqualified Tomori.
Cdk back?
Good news, but with reservations given what happened to Maignan, also comes from the Charles De Ketelaere front. The Belgian's fatigue was minor compared to the injuries suffered by his teammates. Yesterday the class of 2001 trained but did not play a match with the team. Today he might take part in the drills with all his teammates and we might have some more indication about his availability in Saturday afternoon's match. In all this Stefano Pioli is tempted by Junior Messias: the Brazilian has already been back available for two games (the return match with Chelsea and the Verona game) but has not yet put his foot back on the field. Against Monza it may be the right opportunity, even from the first minute. Today and tomorrow we will know more.
