Giroud and Romagnoli recovered, Ibra okay: Pioli now has plenty

Abundance is a concept that usually does not live in Milanello. Where there is a coach who for months has been dependent on the heaviness of the medical bulletin in his choices. This time, however, abundance is a term that is finally worth using. We are not yet at perfection but, in short, we are close to it.

Pioli’s choices

—

In fact, today only good news came from the morning session. Both Romagnoli and Giroud did the entire job together with their teammates and are therefore to be considered fully recovered for Saturday night’s match at San Siro against Andreazzoli’s Empoli. It was the news that Pioli was waiting for in order to begin to concretely evaluate all the options in view of the Tuscans. Romagnoli had injured his adductor in his left thigh in the first half of the Coppa Italia derby and the absence of injuries suggested that the absence would not have been long. So it was. The captain will be called up for Saturday and at this point it will be the coach who chooses whether to insert him immediately or leave room for Kalulu, one of the undisputed heroes of Naples.

Zlatan paws

—

The alarm also returned for Giroud, who had left Maradona with problems in an ankle (slight sprain) and calf due to a fairly deep cut caused by a rough entry by Koulibaly. Yesterday the Frenchman did not play the final match to avoid injury problems, while today he trained regularly in a group. Saturday should still touch him, even if Ibra (also for Zlatan I work totally in a group today, after yesterday’s custom) starts pawing for a starting shirt that has been missing since January 23rd. For the rest, we go towards the return of Diaz from the first minute after the two consecutive benches with Inter in the Cup and Naples, and a probable rest for Tonali, which would see the Bennacer-Kessie couple acting in the median. In defense, in place of the suspended Hernandez, plus Florenzi from Ballo-Touré. Besides Kjaer, the only other injured at the moment is Bakayoko.
