gagliardini

Gary Medel is set to return to midfield for this weekend’s match against Crotone, in order to compensate for the loss of Roberto Gagliardini due to injury.

Stefano Pioli will therefore deploy the Chilean alongside Geoffrey Kondogbia in the usual 4-2-3-1 setup, with Jeison Murillo partnering Miranda in central defence.

La Gazzetta dello Sport also believe that João Mário could replace Éver Banega as trequartista behind No.9 Mauro Icardi.
