Milan, Rebic and Origi also ko with Napoli. Herniated disc for Ante

In view of the big match on Sunday evening, Pioli will have to do without both. The Belgian forward will be taken care of by the national team medical staff, in agreement with the Rossoneri doctors. The Croatian needs time for complete reactivation

This time it will not be necessary to wait until the eve, or perhaps the antivigilia, to understand the turn that the situation will take. But this is not good news in this case. Unfortunately at Milanello the picture that is taking shape in the infirmary, barring unlikely miracles, is already sadly clear: on Sunday evening against Napoli there will be neither Rebic nor Origi. And if on the first Pioli it had already been quite clear (“He has a lot of pain, he is taking care, but he can’t move”), on the second one it was reasonable to expect at least a reasonable dose of hope (“It’s a small thing and not I think it’s Wednesday, but let’s hope for Sunday “). No nothing. White flag for both of us, and the problem for Sunday is now certified.

In fact, today’s morning brought bad news. Rebic, in fact, struggling with these severe back pain, carried out specific tests that showed a small herniated disc. In reality, the problem is no longer in the acute phase, but in the process of being resolved, but Ante has been at a standstill since the end of August. And by firm he really means firm, since evil has prevented even a light activity. This means that by the time the treatments are finished (shortly), a robust re-athletization phase will be needed. Translated: we will see him again after the break, and it is a shame because before this trouble the Croatian had seemed particularly inspired.

Divoca

As for Origi, there are no particular injuries or troubles involved. But the Belgian is struggling with the after-effects of the injury at the end of May in Liverpool, from which he had arrived quite shabby at Milanello (but from which he is still clinically recovered). Pioli had had to dose it carefully in the very first part of the season, precisely to avoid overloads. Now it happens that at the end of the workouts Divock feels pain in the tendon, and therefore you cannot force his presence in any way. Today the striker will fly to Belgium for treatment, taken care of by the health staff of his national team, in agreement with the Rossoneri. He will return to Milanello next week, Pioli’s hope is to have him available for the resumption after the break.

Arrangements

–

The problem, however, is that the absence of Rebic and Origi with Napoli is joined by that of Leao, disqualified. In front of the left, therefore, there are no role players available to Pioli, but only arrangements. Three, in particular. One leads to Krunic (now recovered from the strain in the rectus femoris), the other to Diaz (who in the first season with the Rossoneri had sometimes played in those areas) and the other again to Saelemaekers (also for him it would not be a baptism on the left). From whichever side you look at it, a big problem in such an important game.
