noooooooo :(
Davide Calabria will probably not play this calendar year. We will know more about the situation of injured players after tomorrow's tests. [Sky Sport]
Fuck you Allegri
He is the new "lukaku's mom"
Man Calabria is so unlucky, never able to thrive a full season without injuries. He’s already a good right back, I can’t imagine how better he could be without all these injuries.
Seriously. I love to believe that we are more than 11 players but I really really like our starters..! Being injury plagued like this is so upsetting
Problem with him is that it also takes him quite a while before getting back into rhytm.
For Rebic for example is not a problem to come in after a long abscence and just smash it straight up. But Calabria usually takes up to a month before finding his best form.
Rebic looked like a serie c footballer last year after coming back from injury. His cameo against Samp I believe was the funniest performance i’ve seen, he looked like a fan who won a competition to play with his fav team
That’s just Rebic though, he is perfectly capable of doing those kinds of performances where you wonder how he is actually a pro footballer. And then score some absolute screamer, sometimes even both in the same game.
I mean even when he's inform Rebic has a chance to look like a complete donkey on any given moment, but then he can go from donkey to world class in seconds and its very funny, peak unpredictability.
hopefully DEST steps up massively
We need him at his Sergiño Best
We really need him, what he show is not sufficient atm but hey, we gonna see
He just got an OTW(OneToWatch) card in Fifa. If that doesn't motivate him nothing wil hehe
Dest is talented. There's no reason why he was chased by both Barca and Bayern to be their starting RB. Both really big clubs and In the last 10 years have been one of the top 5 clubs each year consistently. Hopefully DEST works his ass of at Milan and proves to us that he deserves to be the starter and he has that potential to displace Calabria to be very honest.
The transfer of Thiaw and Dest + not letting Gabbia on loan is a masterpiece now. So we got Kalulu/Dest for RB and still 4/5 CBs. Hope the best for our captain, but we can overcome this situation!
I would like to see how Dest does but tbh I think we would probably be better off starting Kalulu at RB and Gabbia at CB against Chelsea and Juve.
I agree
Not talking about Calabria specifically but do you guys think there is something wrong with our medical team? Every year we are injury plagued. I hope the organization looks into this soon
Nah. We mostly play the same 11 every game. That’s dangerous even in normal times, but after covid, breaks became shorter due to fitting the postponed games into it. Then you have Nations League instead of friendlies, meaning the international breaks are tougher on the players due to being competitive instead of friendlies.
It’s called lack of rotation. Davide got injured before the break, yet Pioli decided to risk him yesterday. Alexis got hurt during the match, which is completely unforeseeable, and Kjaer had also had issues before.
I’m not saying we don’t have an issue with the medical staff, but not rotation is what’s really killing us.
Allegri did some black magic on us
I must how missed this - what did Allegri do?
He said that Milan or Inter would struggle if they had 5+ injuries like Juventus do. As if Milan's last season or the one before never happened. Allegri is a fucking trashbag.
Oh, alrighty then. What a donkey. Thanks for the response. :)
He had a minor injury 2 weeks ago... Why risking him?
😢 i am more sad because Kjaer got injured because we could have used Kalulu for RB
but who knows maybe Dest/Gabbia/Thiaw will be an important asset
Think we might be better off with Dest at RB, Kalulu was good defensively but in the build up and attacking phase he was useless
I actually think Kalulu has the best crosses out of all our RBs
Theo’s crosses are top notch. Kalulu is quite decent at RB, but imo his best characteristics are best utilized at the CB. Even Pioli said as far as I remember that Kalulu is a CB primarily.
The issue is he’s left footed isn’t he?
We are in the bad situation, indeed, but let’s prove that Allegri what a real team can do
[removed]
Allegri is probably cackling evilly right now
As long as Ante is fit, Allegri won’t be happy.
Lol. Of course he won't.
Time for Dest to show his worth
He has none
It's time to shift Kalulu to RB then, I don't trust Dest enought to start all games, although he'll get his chances. We have Tomori, Kjaer, Gabbia and Thaiw as CBs.
Wat
If this is true, I think Pioli has to seriously consider going to a 3-5-2 depending on how healthy Kjaer is.
With Kalulu, Tomori and Kjaer as the three CBs and Dest as a RWB with Theo/Balo-Toure as LWBs we could probably get through this period of games until after the World Cup.
Leão’s primary position is obviously LM/LW, but hopefully he could play as a second striker for a month if need be.
You can’t all of the sudden flip your formation or change tactics In the middle of a season. It would be a disaster if they even attempted it. They will bank on Dest & krunic to cover and messias will be back shortly.
Salad can cover RB aswell. I think this was even his primary position back in the days.
He’s out for 8 weeks
Oh damn, forgot he got subbed off yesterday.
I strongly disagree with this. Any top team needs to be able to play both 3 ans 4 at the back if necessary.
Yes maybe with a full squad not one littered with injuries and players that have barely played. It’s dumb and it isn’t going to happen. It’s like continuing to say adli should play RW
Yesterday they were fearing an ACL. Let’s wait and see, but ACL injuries haven’t been kind to us.
This kinda feels like the beginning of the end for him as a starter at Milan.
It took him super long to regain form from his knee injury almost 2 years ago. Now this. Given his physical attributes it just seems like it’s going to be tough.
Calm down. We don't have a diagnosis yet. And even then... he is in his 20s.
Not sure why so downvoted. My first question to myself after I got the news was „is this his last contract wit AC?” everybody knows that injury prone players are a risk. I know its football and injuries are a big part of the game, but some are out for weeks within a season spme for months. You really need to play at high level when you donif you want to keep your spot with so many injuries.
???
Anyone have footage of his injury?
Ffs
Kalulu can cover for the time being, Dest hasn't been good enough tbh
Man RB is CURSED the last few years with injuries and rotations. We've had like 5 or 6 different starters there the last 2 years. Calabria, conti, dalot, kalulu, dest, florenzi, I'm sure there's another I probably missed. Hopefully it's just temporary setbacks for Calabria but it's looking like he just might be an injury prone player at this point :( sucks cause he's really good on his day and always gives his all, hope he can find a program or regiment to stop these long injuries
