Pioli and Milan given huge double boost ahead of Roma return leg

AC Milan head south to the capital on Thursday with a simple mission: win the game against Roma to give themselves a chance of reaching the Europa League quarter-finals.

This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via PianetaMilan) speaks about a fundamental crossroads that is arriving for the season of both teams and how they will be judged.

Speaking of fundamental, Stefano Pioli can smile because he will get two key men back for the match at the Stadio Olimpico, something he hopes will boost the chances of a comeback victory.

Yesterday at Milanello goalkeeper Mike Maignan trained with the rest of the group after missing the trip to face Sassuolo on Saturday due to fatigue. The Frenchman will be back between the posts after what was seemingly just workload management.
