GdS: Kjaer, Calabria and formation – Pioli ponders major changes for the derby | OneFootball

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is already thinking of making some key changes to the starting line-up for the derby against Inter on Sunday, a report claims.

As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), Pioli spoke after the 5-2 hammering at the hands of Sassuolo about the need to change something tactically, and that change could come as early as the first minute of the derby against Inter next weekend.

The Rossoneri coach is expected to switch to either a 4-3-3 formation or a 4-3-1-2, and he would put Simon Kjaer back in the centre-back pairing, even if a lot will depend on Fikayo Tomori’s condition and how his hip is feeling.

Brahim Diaz could re-enter the attack after Charles De Ketelaere’s disappointing performance against the Neroverdi while captain Davide Calabria is at more risk than usual, having been one of the worst on the field in the last few games.
