Official: Pioli names 23-man squad for Benevento clash – Castillejo and Kjaer included

On the eve of Milan’s encounter with Benevento, Stefano Pioli has named his 23-man squad for the game. The manager, who spoke to the press earlier today, will be looking for their third consecutive win. 

The likes of Matteo Gabbia, Ismael Bennacer, Alexis Saelemaekers and Zlatan Ibrahimovic will miss the game due to injury, while Theo Hernandez is suspended. On a positive note, though, Simon Kjaer is back from his injury.

Samu Castillejo was subbed off against Lazio with an issue but has managed to recover from it, though Brahim Diaz is the favourite to start on the right. Other than that, the squad list is what you would expect.

GOALKEEPERS
A. Donnarumma, G. Donnarumma, Tătărușanu.

DEFENDERS
Calabria, Conti, Dalot, Duarte, Kalulu, Kjær, Musacchio, Romagnoli.

MIDFIELDERS
Çalhanoğlu, Castillejo, Díaz, Frigerio, Hauge, Kessie, Krunić, Tonali.

FORWARDS
Colombo, Leão, Maldini, Rebić.

Marco Frigerio was called up for the first time against Lazio and has been called up for tomorrow’s clash as well. The game is scheduled for 18:00 CET and after two consecutive wins, as mentioned, the Rossoneri want to make it three.
