AC Milan in the last few weeks suffered from many absences that hindered certain performances and results. Perhaps if the team were full and ready, some games would have gone differently. But now, Stefano Pioli recovered some players, the emergency is not here anymore, however some absences are still noted.
As pointed out by Il Corriere della Sera, "The red alert emergency is behind us, but even today there will be some heavy absence."
In fact, coach Stefano Pioli, against Crotone, will have to do without Simon Kjaer, Ismael Bennacer, Sandro Tonali and Brahim Diaz.
As for Hakan Calhanoglu, he will actually be available. But the Turk playmaker is not yet in top physical condition and will be on the bench, ready to enter the game if needed.
