The majority of reports leading up to tomorrow’s game against Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi suggested that Brahim would be rested in favour of Charles De Ketelaere who would thus be part of the attack to face La Viola.
Pioli spoke at his pre-match press conference this afternoon, with his comments relayed by MilanNews, and he was asked about the possibility of De Ketelaere playing which prompted an update on Brahim Diaz’s condition.
“In every game, every player must think about being decisive. Tomorrow Diaz will not be there due to a slight knee sprain, so tomorrow it will be Charles’ turn,” he said.
How is Brahim Diaz doing?
“He had a slight sprain, we will do everything to get him back for Tottenham.”
The Rossoneri face off against Spurs on Wednesday 8 March hoping to defend a one-goal lead from the first leg, a goal that the Spanish playmaker actually scored with a close range diving header.
