Hakan Calhanoglu, Turkish playmaker, is back at Stefano Pioli's disposal for today's AC Milan-Crotone. La Gazzetta dello Sport reminded us this morning.
The former Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen, in fact, after having disposed of the coronavirus and having trained well this week at Milanello, was called up for today's match against the Calabrians.
Contrary to what could initially be assumed, however, Calhanoglu could start the match from the bench, according to Pioli in yesterday's press conference. In fact, the Rossoneri number 10, who had the symptoms of Covid-19 at the beginning of isolation, does not yet have 90 minutes in his legs. Calhanoglu has been absent since last January 12, Milan-Torino of the Italian Cup.
In his place, in the position of attacking midfielder, Pioli will confirm Rafael Leão who, acting behind Zlatan Ibrahimović also in the match against Bologna last Saturday, had provided a good performance in a role that has never been seen before since he joined Milan.
