Now that AC Milan vs Genoa has been scheduled for October the Rossoneri will make their Serie A debut next week against Napoli.

Yesterday in the afternoon, the Lega Serie A announced the new dates of the two games that were postponed due to the tragic bridge collapse in Genoa. Even because of the Rossoneri’s agenda full of commitments, what should have been the opening game of this season slipped to 31 October.

However this represents a considerable problem for coach Gennaro Gattuso. For matchday one of Serie A Hakan Calhanoglu would have been unavailable because of a one game suspension from last season. Now the Turkish trequartista will have to skip the big encounter of next week against Napoli at San Paolo.

But how will Rino replace him? According to Tuttosport, Gattuso would be thinking of three different tactical solutions: the first would see Bonaventura as left winger with Bakayoko as inside left in midfield, the second is Castillejo making his debut on the left of the attacking trio and the third with Laxalt completing the department with Higuain and Suso.
