He was named in the squad and the Frenchman is ready to grit his teeth, given the importance of today’s game and what is at stake as Napoli are not only a rival for the Scudetto but also because Milan need to turn around their recent form. Fode Ballo-Touré is also ready, but Pioli hopes to be able to field Theo.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Florenzi, Tomori, Romagnoli, Theo Hernadnez; Tonali, Kessie; Messias, Diaz, Krunic; Ibrahimovic.
