Calhanoglu is back. Or rather, he has recovered from Covid, but will have to wait another week before being able to take the field. Brahim Diaz will also not be present for the game against Bologna today. Stefano Pioli will have to choose his cards right despite the unavailability of some of his important players.
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri coach will aim to use Leao as the number 10 in his lineup, with Saelemaekers on the right and Rebic on the opposite side. Milan will therefore go in search of victory with a more "flexible" 4-2-3-1. During the match, the formation could easily reform into 4-4-2 if Rafa does not find the right balance to enter between the lines, as Calhanoglu usually does.
Leao has already occupied that position at the time of Lille. Pioli and AC Milan expect a lot from the Portuguese, who is proving to be a real wild card in the attack. He is able to fill more roles. He prefers to play as a winger but is adapting for the good of the team.
