According to a rumor, AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has a strategy for the next two games in terms of who will replace Rade Krunic in the base of the midfield.
Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning that Pioli is dealing with the absence of Krunic, a loyalist and essential player who was set to replace Ismael Bennacer in the starting lineup until the new year.
Yacine Adli was elevated to the starting lineup against Cagliari, and the Franco-Algerian is expected to start from the start against Lazio today, alongside Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders.
Even in that role, though, there will be a need for turnover, which is why Tuttosport believes Adli will start tonight but will not play against Borussia Dortmund next week.
Yunus Musah will most likely start in midfield against Germany on Wednesday. The American spent the final half-hour in Cagliari as a deeper-lying midfielder, and Pioli affirmed that he can play there if necessary.
