CM: Milan hopeful of having centre-back return for Napoli rematch

AC Milan are hopeful that they will get Pierre Kalulu back for the Champions League quarter-final clash against Napoli, a report claims.

As Calciomercato.com report, the extraordinary performance from Milan at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona against Napoli after Leao’s brace, Brahim Diaz’s goal and Saelemaekers’ solo run certainly provided some light after the tunnel of March.

It was enough to temporarily forget about Kalulu’s absence, with the defender having sustained an injury with the French U21 national team. When will he be back? Kalulu must be continuously evaluated through weekly instrumental checks, but confidence is filtering ahead of the Champions League games to come.

In the aftermath of the win in Naples, the Rossoneri squad did a warm down which he was part of. Kalulu will try in every way to be available for the second leg at the Maradona, which would be a big boost, though he will not be rushed given how delicate calf problems can me.

  1. Please do not pair Pierre and Fik again. Kjaer’s physical condition is at its best (just like he said few moments back), so let’s not waste that. If anything, Pierre will be more suited on the right back position for Napoli matches.

    1. for me kjær should always start if fit but calabria has dealt with kvaratskhelia pretty much perfectly in both games against napoli this season so kalulu shouldnt take his spot as i see it.

      1. Yes, Calabria did exceptionally well, considering he just lost his spot for quite sometimes after coming back from the injury too. What I meant is that is we have to introduce Pierre somewhere in the match for any kind reasons, it’d be more suited on the right. As he also has that pace to match with Napoli’s wingers.

        1. Exactly so. No changes to this team Kjaer is experienced and brings stability at the back. No need to rush and pair Kalulu and Fik we will not like it.
          Forza milan
