Ismael Bennacer's comeback from injury was rather short. He appeared for around 30 minutes in the game against Sinisa Mihajlovic's Bologna where he resumed his usual place next to Franck Kessié in the middle of the field. In fact, the Algerian midfielder is back to being absent again.
Ismael Bennacer has Bronchitis and few signs of fever (as anticipated by coach Pioli himself in the press conference) which forced the player to miss the game.
As pointed out by La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper today, against Crotone, there will be room for Soualiho Meité, the recent signing of AC Milan from Torino, who has played just over an hour with the Rossoneri colours so far in the games of Cagliari and Atalanta.
