AC Milan’s Pierre Kalulu appears increasingly unlikely to feature in Saturday afternoon’s Milan derby with further tests planned for the weekend, according to a report.
As has been reported by Milan News, the French defender is going to be the subject of new physical tests on Thursday or Friday morning at the latest.
Considering that the game is being played on Saturday at 18:00, that does not fill anyone with much hope that Milan are expecting to have him available, and certainly not from the start of the Derby della Madonnina.
Given that Fikayo Tomori is out with a suspension after his red card against AS Roma before the international break, Stefano Pioli is expected to start the game with Simon Kjaer and Malick Thiaw at centre-back.
That is a largely untested partnership for a game of such importance so early in the new season.
