As AC Milan suffers a cascade of injuries, Theo Hernandez could help out in central defense on Saturday against Frosinone.
Tough week for Stefano Pioli. After his team’s defeat against Dortmund in the Champions League, the AC Milan coach must deal with a squad that is destitute to say the least before the match against Frosinone on Saturday.
In addition to the suspension of Olivier Giroud, the Rossoneri will be without eight players due to injury: Sportiello, Kalulu, Kjaer, Thiaw, Pellegrino, Caldara, Leao, and Okafor. In the group, there are no less than five central defenders, which leaves only Fikayo Tomori as a specialist in the position, available to his coach.
The young Jan-Carlo Simić, born in 2005, was called up to the professional group. But he might not be the one to start. “In defense we also tried something you don’t know”Pioli explained this Friday at a press conference.
According to journalist Matteo Moretto, from Relevo, the Milan coach is considering starting Theo Hernandez in central defense. The French international is, however, a pure left-back, unlike his brother Lucas, who can play both positions and even prefers to play in the center. But Theo Hernandez could be asked to help his team…
