GdS: Milan travel to face Verona with a win the objective despite injury woes

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan will make the trip to face Hellas Verona tonight at the Stadio Bentegodi hoping to bounce back from the Champions League defeat against Chelsea.

As La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes, the Rossoneri team will closely resemble the one that was victorious in the same fixture last season by a scoreline of 3-1, with Charles De Ketelaere still out for a few days and Tommaso Pobega likely to start from the bench.

Milan are the team that have used their new signings the least out of any team in the top right as per the paper, but there is a logic in Pioli’s choices as a team that won the Scudetto should not change much.

Milan have a particular history against Verona having squandered two league titles against the Gialloblu but with the current Rossoneri coach it is the opposite, with the team generally faring better in this fixture.

For the next game against Monza Pioli will have more options given that De Ketelaere, Maignan, Kjaer and a Messias will be back, but the objective remains three points tonight.
