Ahead of the clash between AC Milan and Napoli, some news has arrived from the training ground on Pierre Kalulu and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Both are recovering from injuries and will miss the game.
Kalulu sustained an injury while on international duty for France’s U21 side and he participated in the first part of today’s training session. This was reported by MilanNews and it seems the goal is to be back for the game against Bologna this weekend.
As for Ibrahimovic, he continued his individual program for the entire session and his recovery will take a longer time. In any case, he isn’t included in the Champions League squad so his absence doesn’t weigh as much as Kalulu’s.
Simon Kjaer is expected to play from the first minute against Napoli, just like we saw in the 4-0 win at the Maradona. Kalulu’s absence certainly would have caused more issues if Milan had still been using the three-man backline.
