Ismael Bennacer is fully recovered from Bronchitis and it seems like he is ready to take the field against Spezia and start next to his usual and ideal partner in crime Franck Kessié.
Hakan Calhanoglu is also in good form as he entered during the second half of Milan - Crotone and changed the pace of the match with his assists and dynamism.
Stefano Pioli can finally breathe and smile, he is slowly recovering a full-squad. The important elements are gradually returning.
The numbers speak for Hakan, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport. The former Leverkusen player has reached 8 assists this season. No one better than him in Serie A, adding that Calhanoglu is close to entering the top-10 of Milan's assist-men from the 70s up to today, chasing people of the caliber of Rivera, Kakà or Pirlo.
Ismael Bennacer, on the other hand, has only played a part of the game against Bologna (since his injury on December 13, the Milan-Parma match which ended in a 2-2). He was supposed to be there last Sunday against Crotone, but a bronchitis made him unavailable. Today at the Picco stadium, Milan will find their regular starting midfielder, who is now untouchable for Stefano Pioli.
