Milan coach Stefano Pioli received a new contract with the club last night, but lost four of his defensive players for the upcoming important home game via live stream soccer against Atalanta. The Bergamas have scored as many as 95 championship goals this season, being No. 1 on this indicator in Serie A. Also earlier in the campaign, they defeated the Rossoneri 5-0 at their stadium.
Injury takes the captain of Milan until the end of the season
Captain Alessio Romagnoli suffered a muscle tear in his right calf during last night`s 2-1 victory over Sassuolo and so the central defender will miss the remaining three games of the team until the end of the season. Earlier, right back Andrea Conti was also forced to leave the field due to an injury in his left knee. His examinations did not show damage to the meniscus or cruciate ligaments, but he will be out for the match with Atalanta. Left back Theo Hernandez will have to serve a penalty for accumulating yellow cards. The same is the case with Ismail Benaser, who of all the midfielders helps his teammates the most in defense. Matteo Musacchio and Leo Duarte have been in the club`s infirmary for a long time.
So Pioli is left with only four defenders available. These are Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabia, Davide Calabria and Diego Laxalt. However, the Dane is in question due to accumulated fatigue, while Gabia and Laxalt have a total of less than 500 minutes in the Calcio for the campaign. The good news for the mentor is related to the return of Samu Castiejo. With the victory over Sassuolo Milan secured participation in the Europa League qualifiers, but continues the fight with Roma to qualify directly in the groups of the tournament.
