Milan do not have much time to celebrate their win over Red Bull Salzburg in the Champions League as attention instantly turns to beating Spezia to fully get back on track after the 2-1 defeat against Torino last weekend.
According to a report from MilanNews, Pioli is studying some new ideas as part of the preparations in training and some indications arrived today regarding a potential role for Vranckx. The Belgian is a candidate for a start in the role of attacking midfielder, with Rafael Leao on the left and Brahim Diaz on his right.
That would mean Charles De Ketelaere starts on the bench, and it would be a strong show of faith in Vranckx who has so far been restricted to cameo appearances off the bench since his loan with option to buy move from Wolfsburg over the summer.
