AC Milan's game against Lazio tonight is very important. The Rossoneri boys of Stefano Pioli must get the win away from home in order to confirm themselves in the second place in rankings and restart the chase after Napoli who are the league leaders with 50 points. If Milan win, they would have 41 points.
According to what is reported by Tuttosport in this morning's print edition, the absence of Theo Hernandez is due to a muscle fatigue and it is not a serious one. But, with an intense calendar coming and big games (derby on February 5, Juventus in Turin on February 10 and the Champions League clash vs Tottenham on Fabruary 14), Pioli chose not to risk his star.
Now, Milan will have to do without many of their leaders: Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Mike Maignan, Alessandro Florenzi and Theo Hernandez. Franck Kessié was also an important leader for the Rossoneri and his loss is felt, adds the newspaper. Meanwhile, Claudio Ranieri has his eyes on one AC Milan player to reinforce his Cagliari squad.
