Despite a strong performance by team captain Romagnoli against Udinese last time out, he risks being left out of the starting eleven with Chelsea loanee Fikayo Tomori set to take his place.
According to Corriere Della sera, coach Pioli is considering pairing Tomori with Kjaer for the match against Verona after a good show by the duo last Sunday against Roma at the Olimpico.
Romagnoli whose contract with Milan will expire in 2022 is having a difficult time with the Rossoneri, and Pioli does not see the Italian as a guaranteed starter for Milan at the moment despite having a good game against Udinese, where he made a goal-line clearance but was not flawless on the goal of Becao's advantage.
The arrival of Tomori on loan from Chelsea has strengthened the defensive department of Milan, guaranteeing Pioli absolute depth in that area. The Englishman is in great shape and has had an incredible impact in the 3 starts he has made so far, which gave the coach a tough task in making a decision. The season is still a way to the end and there will be room for everyone but Club captain Romagnoli will have to fight took and nail to reclaim his place and gain back the confidence of Pioli. To sum up, there will be room for everyone, but for now Romagnoli will have to elbow to re-establish the hierarchies.
