AC Milan has been playing matches without without its starting defenders for a significant part of the season.
The first to "fall" was Pierre Kalulu, who had already surrendered in September due to a more serious issue. Malick Thiaw followed, also sidelined due to a muscular problem during the match against Dortmund at San Siro. Finally, the setback occurred during the Salerno away game, with Fikayo Tomori also out due to a muscular issue, despite him being one of the best.
Today, the Corriere dello Sport newspaper tries to establish an order in which the three defenders will return to Pioli's disposal over the next month or so. The first to return to the field will be Thiaw, who should be back in about a month. Tomori will follow closely behind, and for Kalulu, a bit more waiting will be necessary.
