He needs to use this game to get fit and confidence as we need a major shift from him against AS Roma on Thursday. Thiaw needs to find consistency and made a difference otherwise he is just surplus to requirements if he does not overcome this current block. Andrea Pinamonti

The striker would love to help out his former side secure the Scudetto sooner at the San Siro and will be key to make an impression against a weaker defence and bench keeper.
