According to MilanNews, Pioli is carefully studying the best solution to replace the Italy international, who has been out for over a month due to a calf problem that he sustained while with the national team, with a battle on between Pierre Kalulu and Alessandro Florenzi.
Regarding Kalulu, he was considered a wild card for the Rossoneri defence in the early part of the season given that he played as a right-back and as a central defender, but also with some appearances at left-back too while Theo Hernandez was out with Covid.
Florenzi meanwhile has somewhat disappointed expectations for a player with such experience, given he has had fluctuating performances and underwent arthroscopic knee surgery that kept him out for a month. That is why Kalulu should start in the big match against Napoli, which presents him with another important opportunity to impress.
