Simon Kjaer could be set to make his first AC Milan start in nine months since his serious knee injury, a report claims.
As has been reported by Sky Sport today (via Milan News), Milan coach Stefano Pioli could make the bold call against Sassuolo of putting Kjaer back into the centre of the defence alongside Fikayo Tomori.
It is well known that the coach wants to rotate the squad as much as possible from the Bologna game but injuries are preventing him from doing so in some areas of the pitch.
In defence though, it could be time for Kjaer to make his first start in nine months. he certainly will not be able to complete the full 90 minutes which means that he could be replaced by Matteo Gabbia in the second half.
It could be a very make-shift defence in Reggio Emilia with changes on the flanks also expected.
