The Milan derby against eternal rivals Inter Milan, the European Champions League match against Tottenham and the two league matches against Torino and Monza.
Admittedly, AC Milan achieved three victories and a defeat against Inter only in the four games where Bennacer was absent, but the fact remains that the absence of the latter was felt. It must be said that this proves the great importance of the international midfielder within the Milan team.
What is Bennacer’s return date?
It must also be said that Bennacer’s injury is not bad. Having returned to service last week, he could have played against Tottenham last Wednesday and Monza last night. But the club’s technical staff, in consultation with the medical staff, deemed it useful to spare him. And this, as a precaution.
But according to “Sky Sports”, the international midfielder is closer than ever to a return. Indeed, he should return to official competition next Sunday, February 26. It will be on the occasion of the big poster of Serie A; AC-Milan-Atalanta Bergamo.
