The captain pulled out of international duty ahead of the Nations League clash with Portugal, as he was suffering from a muscular problem.

According to Sky Sport Italia, tests this morning showed there is a lesion and that means Romagnoli will be out for approximately four weeks.

It’s a devastating blow to a side already missing Lucas Biglia, Mateo Musacchio, Mattia Caldara and Giacomo Bonaventura for at least a month each.

Davide Calabria was also sent home early from Italy Under-21 duty with an ankle problem.

In today’s game against the Primavera youth team, Gennaro Gattuso tested out a 3-5-2 formation with Andrea Conti in wide midfield.

Another option should the 4-4-2 be confirmed is to bring back Franck Kessie into a central defensive role.

If he were to pick 23-year-old Stefan Simic, it’d be the defender’s Serie A debut in a Milan jersey.
