The absence of Theo Hernandez could force Stefano Pioli to change systems in view of a very challenging set of games, a report claims.
It is not yet known exactly how long the Frenchman will be out for after he suffered an adductor problem that forced him to miss out on representing his country over the international break, but multiple reports are suggesting he is aiming for the Juventus home game meaning he would miss the Empoli and Chelsea matches.
According to reports from today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via SempreMilan.it), Pioli is considering a change of formation to make up for the absence of Theo in the upcoming games.
The idea of the Rossoneri coach is to give more coverage to the team by deploying a three-man defence consisting of Fikayo Tomori, Simon Kjaer and Pierre Kalulu as the centre-backs, with either Fode Ballo-Toure or Davide Calabria at left wing-back with Sergino Dest on the right.
