Romagnoli ready for the derby, Pioli now has the captain at his disposal

Romagnoli ready for the derby, Pioli now has the captain at his disposal

Alessio Romagnoli in this first part of the season was the great absence of Milan, which was still able to compensate for the absence of the captain. The credit goes to coach Stefano Pioli and then to the defensive pair formed by Kjaer and Gabbia.

Now Romagnoli has recovered and this is undoubtedly great news for Milan: for the leading character of the footballer, but also for the technical choices.

Romagnoli trained with the group on Thursday for the derby against Inter. He will be available to Pioli and if he starts the game from the first minute, he will be next to Kjaer.

Romagnoli's injury dates back to July, on the occasion of the match that Milan played against Sassuolo. Problems in the right pulp kept him out of formation for virtually three months.

Milan has received criticism in the last days of the market for not buying a center-back (required by fans and the red and black environment, in general). Many names were discussed, but in the end the talks failed for each of them. Now that Romagnoli is back, the situation is calmer. Pioli already has three center-backs available.

Recall that Leo Duarte is still infected with Koronavirus, like Ibrahimovic (they have less and less chance of being in the derby), while Mateo Musacchio will stay for a long time in the infirmary, after a complicated operation on the ankle .
