Five players out of action and some uncertainty for a couple of positions: this is the situation with which Cristian Chivu approaches tomorrow night’s derby against Milan. According to Sky, the coach has to do without Lautaro Martinez, Curtis Jones, Benjamin Pavard, Luis Henrique, and John Stones, all currently unavailable.
Among the five, the French defender is the one furthest along in his recovery process. His possible return, according to Sky, is linked to the away match in Rotterdam against Feyenoord, but the situation is still evolving and there are no certainties about the timing yet.
For the choice of the starting eleven, Chivu is relying on the players in the best condition, with accumulated fatigue representing a variable to keep under control in managing the group at this stage of the season.
