Pierre Kalulu had two great performances in a row. First, he managed to stop Victor Osimhen by working well with Fikayo Tomori, and against Empoli, he scored the winner and therefore was a decisive part in bringing the 3 points.
Alessio Romagnoli, who has recovered from injury, seems to have lost his place in Stefano Pioli's squad. The team captain whose contract is due to expire at the end of the current season, will also be sitting on the bench, according to reports.
According to Tuttosport today, Stefano Pioli seems willing to continue on deploying French 21-year-old versatile defender Kalulu with 24-year-old English centre-back Fikayo Tomori once again. Both will start against Cagliari away from home while Alessio Romagnoli watches from the bench, ready to enter if needed.
