There is some concern about the condition of Malick Thiaw following today’s rollercoaster 3-3 draw against Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium.
In the final minutes of the game the cameras picked up Thiaw in pain and showing some obvious physical problems that even made it difficult for him to walk. He was limping around the field and clutching his hamstring, but remained on the field because all the subs had been used.
According to what is being reported by MilanNews, the German defender suffered muscle cramp which later passed and thus he was able to continue. Tomorrow at Milanello, however, the player will be evaluated during the training session.
Thiaw was booked in the second half and he was one yellow card away from a suspension, meaning he will not be available to coach Pioli for the derby against Inter on 22 April.
Thiaw’s condition will be assessed in the next few days in view of the return leg against Roma on Thursday in the Europa League.
Given that Pierre Kalulu is out due to a ligament issue and Simon Kjaer has apparently picked up a flexor problem, Stefano Pioli will certainly hope that Thiaw is not ruled out for any period of time.
