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.
