Stefano Pioli held a training session at Appiano Gentile today ahead of Saturday’s away fixture against Torino at the Stadio Olimpico with kick-off schedule for 18.00 CET.

According to Sky Sport, Stefano Pioli continued with yesterday’s test of reinserting Marcelo Brozovic and Joao Mario into the starting line-up in the 4-2-3-1 formation. The Croatian midfielder was played next to Gagliardini in midfield with the Portuguese international replacing Banega just behind Icardi up front flanked by Candreva and Perisic on either side.

However, Sky report that despite having utilized the aforementioned formation 2 training sessions in a row Stefano Pioli will have a difficult time to remove Kondogbia and Banega given the fantastic form both players are in currently.
