MN: The captain and vice captain for Milan vs. Torino in Calabria’s absence

By Oliver Fisher -

There will be a different captain for AC Milan compared to usual tonight as Davide Calabria was not named in the starting line-up.

The starting XIs were officially confirmed moments ago and Alexis Saelemaekers and Theo Hernandez have been named as the right and left wing-backs, with armband holder Calabria therefore dropping to the bench.

As MilanNews report, Theo Hernandez will be the captain of Milan tonight in what is a must-win game for the Rossoneri at San Siro tonight. The deputy captain to the French left-back is Simon Kjaer.

It comes after there was some confusion during the 1-0 defeat to Inter in the derby last Sunday night during which Calabria was subbed off in the second half and Kjaer donned the armband despite the fact Theo is the official vice captain.

However, it emerged afterwards that it was just a simple time saving exercise given the desire to push on immediately for an equaliser.
