AC Milan's Danish defender Simon Kjaer who started the match against Sassuolo, had to leave the pitch prematurely due to muscle fatigue. In his place, Stefano Pioli chose to rely on Matteo Gabbia in the 55th minute.
As reported by the sideline reporter from DAZN, 35-year-old Simon Kjaer left the Mapei Stadium field quite fatigued, heading directly to the locker rooms without even passing by the rest of his teammates who were sitting on the Rossoneri bench.
