When Musah was signed during the summer transfer window there was some doubt about whether he would be deployed as a box-to-box player as he had been used at Valencia or if he could function in a deeper role like he has for the USA.
Pioli spoke during his pre-match press conference on the eve of the game against Lazio and he was asked by one of the reporters about the different roles that Yunus Musah can play.
“Musah can play in all three positions. He has different characteristics from Krunic and Adli, while he has the quality of runs when he plays forward,” he said.
“He has characteristics that will be useful to us, he is a complete player and wherever I use him he will be important for the team.”
Pioli was also asked about when he expects Ismael Bennacer to return, and he pumped the breaks on the idea that he will be back any time soon.
“Bennacer will return in mid-October to do a little more specific work, but there are no specific times. The recovery time will still be quite long.”
