Fode Ballo-Toure spent the summer away from Milanello, but today he has returned to Milanello with AC Milan suffering from a lack of proper left-back options.
Throughout the international break, the topic of Milan’s left-back was heavily discussed due to Theo Hernandez’s red card – which will see him miss the next two league games. Because of this, there are a lack of options available, and the Rossoneri are left fishing for a replacement.
It is a problem which needed fixing in the summer, but the management saw no need to invest in the position with several young options available. However, with Fonseca still yet to decide who will replace the Frenchman whilst he is suspended, it is a worrying admission that the squad lacks a proper deputy.
At present, it seems that he will be replaced by one of Filippo Terracciano, Alex Jimenez or Davide Bartesaghi, and given the latter duo are from the Futuro squad, it leaves the side slightly low on options.
As Sky (via Milan News) writes, with the Diavolo failing to part ways with Ballo-Toure he remains at the club, and he has returned to training this week with the Futuro squad. It has been confirmed that he will play with them until January, when he might be sold.
I‘m not sure about the rules, but I thought squad lists have to be defined at the beginning of the season and if he wasn’t on the list there is no way he can play?
Think he can still play for Futuro.
So he might be an option there if we take Jimenez+Bartesaghi temporarily both into the first team squad
Bennacer is injured,so he can take his place until January
Of wow… it must be getting desperate at Milanello…
Meh..ballo always did more than a decent job when called upon.
Ofc he didn’t play like theo. But who the F could play like theo? And expecting that from a sub? It’s insane.
But why give minutes to someone completely irrelevant to the progress of the team as opposed to a Futuro player?
Let Bartesaghi cook is my 2 cents. Tho my other 2 cents is it was a mistake to freeze out ballo. We could’ve just keep him until his contract is up in 2026. But they loaned him and didn’t bring a replacement now froze him and coach seems reluctant to play the teen
I’m thinking if Fonzi can not select a replacement at this stage then his time as manager is over and the special ones should organising another meet at Milanello to find a replacement of quality as the next manager!!!!!!!!!!!
Ibra is missing again? Does he have a special mistress that he has to service every weekend?
Davide Bartesaghi is the best option here and he needs to be a part of the first team.
Clueless club
LOL! Maybe a Season in serie b is our last option to reunite
