Even without Gatti, the team will continue with a back three, and Pierre Kalulu will step in for the Italian international.
He returned in early March after a muscle injury that kept him sidelined for a month. He was one of the surprises of the first half of the season and one of the best signings of the transfer window, so much so that the club will exercise their option to buy him from Milan: 14 million euros are ready for the Rossoneri, in addition to the 3.3 million euros already paid for the loan, according to the latest report, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Since Bremer's injury in October, the Frenchman has become a leader in the backline alongside Gatti (33 appearances, one goal, and 2,651 minutes on the pitch) when Motta used a four-man defense. The system change initially seemed to work against him, as Tudor left him on the bench at first while at Genoa.
His teammate’s injury, however, brought him back into the spotlight as the right-sided center-back, and that’s where the former AC Milan player will play again tonight in Rome, with Renato Veiga as the central figure in the middle tasked with building from the back, and Lloyd Kelly on the left.
