Casey is ready for a new role as attacking midfielder in the Derby with Milan, Jiro replaces Zlatan

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli settled on several options to surprise Inter in the “Derby of Anger” that brings them together on Saturday, as the Ivorian team regains Franck Kessié, who will play behind the two strikers, while Olivier Giroud will compensate for the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the encounter. Pioli is ready to change in the Milan derby: Casey replaces Dias as the attacking midfielder; Tonali and Bennacer form the defensive midfielder.Casey returned back from the African Nations Cup after Ivory Coast eliminated. Casey resumed training with his teammates, and his last match before leaving Côte d'Ivoire saw him play a new triple role behind the strikers, effectively replacing Brahim Diaz.
Casey has proven to be surprisingly positive in this position, scoring twice for the Elephants. According to the latest reports from Italy, Pioli is providing most attention to the tactics in the derby, thus being able to fend off the impact of Inter midfielder Marcelo Brozovic on the match. The other concerns are related to fitness, specifically Ibrahimovic and Ante Rebic, both of whom are not 100% fit.
Ibrahimovic limped out in the last match against Juventus with an Achilles tendon problem and continues to train separately. If the Swedish does not get the green light to participate; Olivier Giroud will lead the way in his first derby in Milan.
