In the excited final of derby on Monday eveningin a few minutes the Milan not only did he lose the game and honor with the cousins’ party in his own house, but also three players ahead of Juventus. All three, so as not to miss anything, defenders. We are obviously talking about the Captain Davide Calabriasent off with a direct red card and disqualified for two matches, Theo Hernandezout for a shift, and Fikayo Tomoribooked under a warning and out for one match.
Old (bad) habits
And so the Milanafflicted by a nightmare month of April with elimination from the Europa League at the hands of Roma and the sixth consecutive derby lost which gave Inter the mathematical certainty of the Scudetto, will present themselves to play a new big match, against Juventus and with up for grabs confirmation of second place in the rankingspractically defenseless. To the absences due to disqualification, those due to injury must also be added Pierre Kalulu and Simon Kjaer, who also did not train today according to what was reported by Sky Sport 24. In all this it must be said that it is not even big news for Stefano Pioli in this season run out of defensive solutions. From the end of October until the beginning of March it was a Calvaryfrom this point of view with Tomori, Thiaw and Kalulu out long and with Kjaer never 100%. Clear that get to five absences in one fell swoop it is never exciting, even more so if there are two starting full-backs, of which one, Theo, was also employed as a central defender this year, and above all in a moment like this.
The solutions
To recap. Pioli will have available for the trip to Turin, which is important from many points of view despite the period, only four first team defendersof which one is Filippo Terracciano who has had very little space since he joined Milan as the only purchase in the January transfer market. The other three are Matteo Gabbiawho became a surprise starter after returning from loan to Villarreal mid-season, Alessandro Florenziwho has always done it as a backup this year, and Malick Thiaw who missed the derby due to disqualification and who after the injury never returned to the one admired last year in some phases of the season. There would also be Mattia Caldara but his first call-up arrived on Monday with Inter, so it is difficult to consider him like the others. For this reason it is possible that they may be summoned Jan Carlo Simic and Davide Bartesaghi for the occasion, ready to make their contribution from the bench. They will definitely take to the field Gabbia and Thiaw as a central pairwhile one of the full-backs will most likely be Florenzi. The other could be either Filippo Terraccianoon the left with Florenzi moving to the right, or Yunus Musah which would push back his usual role on the wing. In the next two days, with the training that will continue, we will know more.
