There have been few players as brilliant as Tijjani Reijnders this season, and AC Milan will need him against Fiorentina on Saturday. However, they might not have the luxury of doing so.
This season has been difficult for everyone, but through difficulty, quality can be found, and this is largely the case with Reijnders, much like it was last season. In the past 12 months, the Dutchman has come into his own, and this season, we have seen it even more.
Before, the midfielder was asked to play everywhere, covering a number of different roles. However, he has now been given a set role, fluctuating between two positions, but allowed the freedom to be creative.
So, in a game with the importance of Saturday’s, where you feel Milan have to win to keep their European hopes alive, players like Reijnders are needed, and needed to be at their best. However, this may not be the case with the midfielder.
As Sky (via Milan News) reports this afternoon, the 26-year-old missed training at Milanello due to illness, and a decision will be made tomorrow after the scheduled training session. Should he not be well enough, Yunus Musah will be played instead, with this solution tested in the training session.
