Stefano Pioli is studying various solutions as he may not be able to call upon Theo Hernandez for the first game of 2023 against Salernitana, a report claims.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), in the coming days Stefano Pioli will decide whether Theo Hernandez and Olivier Giroud are fit enough to start the game on January 4 in Salerno, given that will return to Milanello tomorrow after their post World Cup vacation.
If Theo were to be ruled only fit enough to start from the bench, then there are three alternatives lined up: Sergino Dest could move over from right-back, the Tommaso Pobega experiment could continue or the most natural replacement Fode Ballo-Touré could be selected.
Of course, the hope is that Theo has recovered enough in condition from his few days off after the World Cup in Qatar, in which he went all the way to the final with France before losing to Argentina.
