AC Milan’s Italian coach Stefano Pioli confirmed that the talented Algerian international Ismaël Bennacer will be part of the squad set to face Frosinone. This affirmation comes as a relief to fans and pundits alike, dispelling concerns over Bennacer’s fitness following an injury sustained during the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The midfield maestro, who encountered a muscle injury during the Fennecs’ brief campaign at the African football spectacle, was unable to participate in Algeria’s last two group-stage matches.
The period of uncertainty surrounding Bennacer’s availability had prompted widespread speculation and questioning.
Addressing the media in a pre-match press conference on Friday, AC Milan’s astute coach confidently stated, “Bennacer will be present in the group” slated to confront Frosinone.
Pioli further emphasized Bennacer’s multifaceted skills, highlighting his potential to contribute significantly in terms of intensity and quality on the pitch.
Regarding the player’s recent injury setback, Pioli assured, “He suffered a slight blow during the CAN, but he is better now, even if we do not expect many minutes from him.”
The imminent return of the 26-year-old Algerian midfielder is poised to inject a boost of dynamism and expertise into AC Milan’s lineup. Bennacer’s resilience in overcoming setbacks is evident, considering he had already navigated an extended period of unavailability in the previous season due to a knee injury.
As the Rossoneri prepare for their upcoming clash against Frosinone, the return of Ismaël Bennacer is eagerly anticipated, marking a significant moment in AC Milan’s pursuit of success in the Serie A.”
