Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria’s health, according to a report, would likely play a significant role in Stefano Pioli’s anticipated choice of a 3-4-3 formation versus Hellas Verona.
Hernandez and Calabria are both feeling the consequences of the first few games of the season, as reported by Milan News, and they both run the danger of being hurt.
Pioli believes this presents a chance to test a new system that utilizes a back three and wingers rather than traditional full-backs in a back four. Pierre Kalulu is also out due to injury.
Rade Krunic and Tijjani Reijnders are expected to play as the two central midfielders, with Alessandro Florenzi expected to start on the right and Yunus Musah on the left. Ruben Loftus-Cheek then moves to the bench to take a break.
The usage of a new form so early in the season confounds many fans, but given the upcoming slate of games, it could be essential.
