Simon Kjaer is a pillar for AC Milan's coach in the starting lineup. The player has been playing his best football, as he claimed himself a few days ago in a recent press conference.
The Dane centre-back, 32, has formed a great partnership with Fikayo Tomori. However, it is now time for him to rest and recover. Unfortunately, the player could not play the whole match as he was injured in the first half against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium.
La Gazzetta dello Sport, highlighted the injury crisis that is ongoing currently at Milanello. There are many players out with injury due to muscle problems.
Davide Calabria is struggling with an elongation of the right thigh flexors while Rade Krunic is out due to problems in calf. As for Tiémoué Bakayoko, he suffered a hemorrhagic suffusion in the soleus against Lazio.
Besides, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Olivier Giroud could not help the team against the Bianconeri. The Swede has an inflammation of the Achilles tendon while the former Chelsea attacker is suffering lower back pain.
On the other hand, Junior Messias is not match-ready yet, and there is work to get him physically fit to take part of AC Milan's next games.
Coach Stefano Pioli is indeed in a tough spot right now as many players are not fit to play. Depth is very much needed and we'll have to see if the club's medical team and training staff will be able to recover some players before the next match against Venezia.
