AC Milan has to do with a backup left-back
In his absence from the Milan team, Pioli has called upon Fodé Ballo-Touré. Theo has been involved in three goals in the nine games he has participated in this season. He has scored once while assisting another two.
The Frenchman has been a revelation in Serie A ever since he joined AC Milan from Real Madrid in 2019. His attacking play was fundamental as the club went on to win the Scudetto last season.
Fode Ballo Toure is a 25 years-old Senegalese left back. He is usually the backup option for the club. In the absence of Theo Hernandez, Pioli has called upon him to perform. His performance against Premier League giants Chelsea on October 6th displayed a worrying sign for the Milan supporters. Milan lost the game 3-0. Reece James and Raheem Sterling ran down Fode Ballo frequently on his flank.
