Franck Kessie will be out of action for a few weeks and this has prompted Milan to evaluate the depth situation in the midfield. Tommaso Pobega could end up staying at the club as a result, per a report.
Milan will take part in three competitions this season and don’t want to be caught unprepared, as was somewhat the case last season. Kessie’s injury might not be serious, but it was still a wake-up call for the management.
According to today’s edition of Tuttosport, as cited by MilanNews, the Rossoneri could decide to keep Pobega. The young midfielder seemed destined to leave on loan but that is not the case anymore, although it’s still a possibility.
He has impressed during pre-season and there’s no doubt that he would be a good alternative for the midfield tandem. However, at his age, he also needs a lot of playing time and Milan might not be able to guarantee that.
