Di Marzio: Milan defender Hernandez ruled out of Lazio clash through injury

AC Milan defender Theo Hernandez has been ruled out of the match against Lazio with a muscular injury, a report claims. 

As has been reported by Gianluca Di Marzio, the French left-back will not be playing any part at the Stadio Olimpico on Tuesday as he seeks to recover from injury.

Milan do not want to take any risks with his condition so they will not name him in the matchday squad to face the Biancocelesti.

Therefore, Stefano Pioli must find someone else to play that role against Maurizio Sarri’s side, which could mean moving Sergino Dest to that side. With both Fode Ballo-Toure and Alessandro Florenzi out injured, Pioli is lacking in full-backs to call upon.

Milan are in serious need of a morale boosting win on Tuesday night in Rome after a very poor start to 2023 has seen two potential pieces of silverware disappear with Coppa Italia and Supercoppa defeats.
