Perth Derby, Bonny expected on the field with Esposito

The Milan derby in a friendly match in Perth is approaching, where Cristian Chivu will once again have the opportunity to test the team seventeen days before the first league match against Monza. The Nerazzurri coach exchanged smiles and jokes with his Rossoneri colleague Ruben Amorim on the eve of the match.

There is anticipation to see three players back on the field who have recently joined the group after their post-World Cup vacations. One of them is Bonny, who will strengthen a department where the coach is rather short on men.

According to Tuttosport, Chivu has to deal with a squad that is not yet complete, but compared to the last friendly against Manchester City, he should be closer to a typical starting lineup. In attack, we can expect Ange-Yoan Bonny alongside Pio Esposito, while in defense Bastoni should be back.

The starting trio in the 3-5-2 formation should be Barella, Stankovic, and Zielinski. During the match, it could be the turn of Hakan Calhanoglu and Petar Sucic, both returning from the World Cup.
