Neither Sandro nor Brahim are at their best: probable bench for both. Giroud ahead of Ibrahimovic, Messias-Saelemaekers ballot
There will also be Sandro Tonali and Brahim Diaz among the Rossoneri who left Linate Prime airport for Cagliari shortly after 6pm. Stefano Pioli will therefore have them available for the Sardinian away match, but they will hardly be starters against Mazzarri’s team. Contusion for the Spaniard, fever for Sandro and flu malaise also for Daniel Maldini, who has been out for three days and therefore not summoned by Pioli. Out also Castillejo for technical choice. Bakayoko, on the other hand, is back.
Knots to untie
–
The precarious conditions of Tonali in fact launch the African couple Bennacer-Kessie in the middle, while Krunic should act as central playmaker. Untouchable Leao on the left, run-off between Messias and Saelemaekers on the opposite side. Up front, Ibrahimovic undermines Giroud but it is likely that he is still the Frenchman from the start, despite Zlatan’s conditions are constantly improving. Defensive line formed by Calabria, Tomori, Kalulu (it is difficult for Romagnoli to undermine him) and by the returning Hernandez.
