Tuttosport: Pioli must choose Tonali’s partner for Fiorentina game – the options

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli must settle on a midfield combination ahead of Saturday night’s game against Fiorentina away from home.

According to what Tuttosport (via MilanNews) are reporting this morning, Sandro Tonali is virtually guaranteed of a start in the double pivot just as he has been for the past few games, but the main question concerns who his partner will be.

Both Tommaso Pobega and Aster Vranckx are fighting for the spot alongside the Italian given that Rade Krunic has been suspended for one game after reaching the threshold of five yellow cards.

There remains a possibility that Ismael Bennacer is seen from the first minute but he has been out for a few weeks with a muscle problem and only returned to full training with the rest of the squad yesterday, so it remains more likely that he starts on the bench.
