Stefano Pioli will welcome three players back from injury for the game against Monza on Saturday but he plans to preserve one of them, a report claims.
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) writes how Simon Kjaer, Mike Maignan and Charles De Ketelaere are ready to return to the field on Saturday evening at San Siro. The French goalkeeper and the Belgian playmaker are expected to start against Monza, but Kjaer will be saved.

The paper claims that while the Dane is available for the game at the weekend, he will will presumably be saved for the Champions League away match against Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia, when Fikayo Tomori will be suspended after his red card against Chelsea and given Malick Thiaw is not on the UEFA squad list.
Therefore, it can be implied that a back four of Pierre Kalulu, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez will be used versus Monza.
Thiaw should start alongside Tomori since both are not available for UCL. Kjaer and Gabbia can come in later on.
I agree with you Nino.
