CorSport: Pioli hoping for resurgence from Theo Hernandez after difficult period

For AC Milan to be at their best they need the top version of Theo Hernandez, and it can be argued that he has not been at the previous levels he has hit so far this season.

Milan are coming off a difficult week, with only one point obtained from the three games against Juventus at home, Paris Saint-Germain away and Napoli away, complicating things in the league and in Europe.

Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) writes that one of the players who has seems a bit tired is Theo Hernandez. The French full-back isn’t playing at the levels we know he is capable of, but why?

Stefano Pioli hopes to have an in-form Theo Hernandez back, but it must be admitted that the left-back is yet to fully get in tune with the new formation which means he has only shone intermittently.

Since joining the Rossoneri shirt he has never scored so little at this point of the season. Against Udinese, however, Theo Hernandez scored last year from a penalty with what was the first goal of the season, so tomorrow’s opponents could provide the necessary spark.
