AC Milan will enter the pitch to battle for derby glory against their bitter rival cousins Inter.
The Rossoneri team will be playing in not really ideal conditions as they are coming from frustrating results against Spezia in the league and Red Star Belgrade in the Europa League.
On top of that, the Rossoneri will miss out on the services of an important pillar who is Ismael Bennacer.
As highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper, Pioli will have to hope that the presence of Calhanoglu in the attacking midfield can be enough to cover for the missing quality of the Algerian player and be sufficient to win the derby.
Hakan is one of the strengths of Milan and has shown that he can be a driving force.
Now, the Turk international is back, but he's not at the top yet. coach Stefano Pioli, however, needs the best version of his number 10 to win the derby and have a good match.
