CDK will be our RW. And Adli our AM. Mark my words.
I really don't think CDK was signed for the RW going by the comments from people at the club as well as others who know CDK's game. Everyone seems to see him as an attacking mid/second striker type. This gives me chills as it is setting us up for another season of Messias and Alexis on the right
Pioli just today in his presser said that he's an AM but can play other roles in our attack...

Tonali injured in today's friendly
This is what I have been wrried about all summer. If we do not replace Kessie adequately we're going to have serious trouble this season. Our mercato has really been a worrying sign with regards to the new ownership. CDK aside we have not made any other moves of significance this summer, this after losing 2 very good players for free once again. Romagnoli it is understandable why it's not an emergency to replace him but it is critical to replace Kessie at this point. We cannot go into the new season with just Tonali and Bennacer for that double pivot + a rag-tag team of random players who are not good enough to fill that position.

No, it's just speculation in case of a sprain. The instrumental tests will be carried tomorrow. The hope is that it's only an elongation, which requires a few days of rest. But knowing our luck, it's probably going to be a sprain. I really hope he doesn't miss the derby on 3/9.
We got lucky this time, but next time it could be a big problem.
We're on August 12th and there are no significant links currently to any player who could realistically be purchased to replace Kessie. All I see are new random names being thrown about every day.

-48h. Can't wait.
Probable line-up: Maignan, Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Theo, Krunic, Bennacer, Messias, Brahim, Leao, Rebic.
I also read Origi has been training regularly with the group and should be available on the bench. Great news.
Excited as well. But I am worried that it is Udine on the 1st matchday. They're a huge thorn for us. Plus we have to play Krunic in the double pivot and we're still starting with Diaz and Messias in attack
