Milan, 17 December 2021 – About forty-eight hours after the big match of the eighteenth day of Serie A against Napoli, from the infirmary of the Milan good news arrives for Stefano Pioat the which recovers Olivier Giroud. Stopped by a muscle problem from the Champions League match won by the Rossoneri against Atletico Madrid, the French striker has in fact recovered his full form and today he trained again with his teammates. Unless there are surprises, therefore, on Sunday he should sit on the bench and play at least one segment of the match against the Neapolitans. For a fully recovered player, however, there is one who is not yet 100% sure to take the field on Sunday and is a rather important pawn as Theo Hernandez: the transalpine left-back suffered a feverish attack this week and trained separately today but should still be part of the Rossoneri starting eleven. Tomorrow’s finishing was decisive for him.
Pioli’s choices
Against Napoli coach Stefano Pioli will obviously still rely on the tried and tested 4-2-3-1: between the posts there will be Mike Maignan who will have in front of him the defensive package composed of Florenzi, Tomori, Romagnoli and Theo Hernandez (if tomorrow he returns to train in a group). In the median there will be the essential Tonali together with Kessié while the trident of attacking midfielders in support of Zlatan Ibrahimovic it will be formed by Saelemaekers, Diaz and Messias.
