After two months Bennacer returned to training with the team. The Algerian is ready: he will be available again against Bologna. Pioli could not play him since the match of Parma on 13 December last.
Bennacer skipped ten games. Milan without him managed to win only six. Pioli's alternatives have not replaced him at best. Tonali was unable to give an excellent contribution to the team.
Milan suffered the absence of Bennacer especially in big matches: against Juventus, Atalanta and Inter. The return of the former Empoli midfielder is now essential.
He has already made 52 appearances for his club, even scoring a goal. Bennancer has attracted the interest of many big clubs, as PSG and Manchester City. At the end of the season, talks could start to renew his contract expiring in June 2024
