Ranocchia

Frank de Boer is struggling with preparations for the match against Cagliari on Sunday. Players are returning after the international break, and now Joao Mario and Jovetic have joined the rest of the group in the final part of the session. SkySport pundit Andrea Paventi explained: “Santon and Ansaldi have more chance then their of being in the team to face Cagliari at the Meazza.

“At the center of defence, unless you want to also play Murillo with Miranda, and both will arrive on Friday after commitments with Colombia and Brazil respectively, De Boer could field a team that would play Ranocchia alongside the Brazilian.”
