Milan host Crotone at the San Siro this afternoon without Ismael Bennacer and with Hakan Calhanoglu who is expected to start on the bench.
The Turkey international has recovered from COVID, but seems not fit to start yet.
“He had some symptoms, it’s something that can affect the physical condition, we are happy to have him back. He is a very important player for us, I still have to decide whether he will start or not,” Pioli said at a press conference yesterday.
