Dest assures he is ‘ready’ for Milan’s clash against Lazio: “I know what to do”

Ahead of the clash between Lazio and AC Milan, set to kick off in 30 minutes, Sergino Dest spoke briefly to the media. The American is in the starting XI due to Theo Hernandez’s injury. 

Hernandez is struggling with a minor muscle injury and yesterday, Stefano Pioli decided to exclude him from the squad to avoid making the matter worse. Therefore, Dest is the man starting on the left-hand side this evening.

The American international was interviewed briefly by DAZN (via MilanNews) ahead of kick-off and he stated that he’s ready for the task. Replacing Hernandez isn’t easy for any player, though, especially if your main position isn’t really left-back.

Did Theo give you any advice?

“No, we didn’t talk. I think I know what to do in that position and on both sides, I’m ready.

Milan are desperate to get the win tonight after four games without one. Napoli are doing well at the top and the Rossoneri might have to focus on top four instead, but first and foremost they need to bounce back.
