On Saturday evening at 6 PM Italy's time, AC Milan will face Inter in the derby which wil be valid for Serie A's matchday 4. Stefano Pioli's dilemma is in the defensive area: Fikayo Tomori is unavailable due to a disqualification and Pierre Kalulu's presence is in doubt.
Considering Marco Pellegrino, who arrived on August 22nd from Platense, is still too inexperienced, and Mattia Caldara is off the radar, the choice is practically forced, with Simon Kjaer starting alongside Malick Thiaw.
As per Calciomercato.com, the Danish player lost his starting spot due to physical issues. But, it is necessary now that the 34-year-old showcases all his strength and skills in order to help his teammates emerge victorious against Inter.
This season, Kjaer came on in the final minutes against Bologna and Torino, for a total of 13 minutes. This coming derby, therefore, is certainly a big test for the player's abilities. He must contribute well to further establish himself and send signals to the AC Milan managers who currently have no intention of renewing his contract in the summer of 2024.
