These last few weeks have been very hard for coach Stefano Pioli as he had to put changes to his starting lineup due to the injuries that important players suffered. However, all in all, AC Milan held their own and remained at the top position of the league ranking. But now, Ismael Bennacer is back, which is a great boost for the team.
The Algerian has warmed up his engines against Bologna, after almost two months of absence, and is now ready to take back his starting spot next to Franck Kessié. As Tuttosport points out, Bennacer played a good half hour at Dall'Ara stadium, despite the long period of forced stop. He's fine, he just misses a little pace of the match. Against Crotone, most likely, he will start from the beginning.
Tonali will make room for him, who has not completely convinced in these first months with the Rossoneri. The young midfielder, in fact, has not, yet, made it according to the expectations of the club, which still believes in the potential of the player. Of course, competition is once again important and finding space will not be as easy as before, but Sandro will have his chances.
