Ismael Bennacer's presence has been missed in AC Milan's starting midfield next to his ideal partner Franck Kessié. Stefano Pioli had to rely on other players to fill that role like Sandro Tonali, Rade Krunic, and Soualiho Meité.
When the Algerian midfielder returned briefly against Bologna in the second half of the match, he could not show continuity in view of the next game against Crotone because he had bronchitis and a little bit of fever, as anticipated by coach Stefano Pioli himself during a recent press conference.
However, the player is finally back to training as he has fully recovered. This is good news certainly for the coach, his staff, the players and the Rossoneri management and fans.
As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport on today's edition, the former Empoli midfielder will be regularly on the pitch from the first minute in the middle of the field together with Franck Kessie on Saturday against Spezia away for the 23rd matchday fixture of the Serie A.
