One of the battles that Stefano Pioli will have to make a call on ahead of the Bologna game is who starts between Pierre Kalulu and Alessio Romagnoli.
One of the two will join Fikayo Tomori in the centre of the defence according to MilanNews, and the choice that Pioli will make could also have an impact on the future, especially with Romagnoli just a few months away from the expiry of his contract.
There are suggestions that a potential window for Romagnoli to renew is still open, but the captain wants guarantees that he will be a key member of the defensive rotation next season. That is why the choice between him and Kalulu to play alongside Tomori between now and the end of the season will be important.
Kalulu helped keep clean sheets against Napoli, Empoli and Cagliari even scoring the winning goal in the match against the Tuscans. For this reason, it seems logical to stick with a winning formula, but Pioli will also base his decision on the condition of his players and the Frenchman was involved with the U21 national team over the break.
Sends the wrong message if Romagnoli starts.
How is that even a choice? Kalulu has been one of the most in form players for weeks
Lmao,kalulu literally played without mistake
Just resting kalulu. Overwork player potential make injury. Next week play Tomori kalulu again. Bologna already save from relegation and their coach already on hospital, so they Will play for fun. No need to forcing play kalulu in that game
you should play everyone with some disgression as obviously we are in the Scudetto race, we do not need any ego trips at this point. Start Kalulu with his knowledge that he is number one but Romo needs to be ready if Kalulu gets injured, same applies to rest of the team.
