Stefano Pioli reveals Daniel Maldini won’t travel with the team to Cagliari, while Sandro Tonali and Brahim Diaz will be assessed today.
A few Rossoneri players had fevers this week. Maldini hasn’t trained for three days, so he won’t travel to Cagliari. Olivier Giroud has recovered, while Sandro Tonali is in doubt.
“We are working with the same concentration. The team feels well mentally, so I am convinced the legs will keep running. We must continue improving and become more and more competitive,” Pioli said at a press conference today.
“Maldini is not available due to a fever. Tonali is back and I’ll assess him today, Giroud trained yesterday, so I don’t think he’ll have problems. Diaz picked up a knock yesterday, so we’ll assess him today.
“We have a lot of solutions, we’ll face many teams playing with a three-man defence, Cagliari, Bologna, Torino…we have many options, but the most important thing is to remain dangerous.”
Tiemoue Bakayoko and Simon Kjaer are also out of action with the Denmark international ruled out for the rest of the season.
