Milan, Gattuso: "Kalinic is out because we don't want to risk him. Biglia gives us great balance"

Milan has had a run of better results and tomorrow they face SPAL. It might seem like an easy match for the rossoneri on paper, but the Ferrara based side has compiled 11 out of their 17 total points at home this season, so it is a difficult place to play. Gennaro Gattuso spoke ahead of the match: "it was the last week where we won't play midweek, so I gave them two days of rest. We will have nine matches this month and they are recouping energy. The guys have arrived well, I am satisfied with the training sessions: now we need to confirm them tomorrow. Kalinic out? He has inflammation, if we stopped him it's to not risk him for a little time: we preferred for him to let him rest for 3-4 days and he will not work on the pitch. There is Cutrone and Andre Silva, even Borini who can play as a striker. I am sad for Kalinic but we move ahead. The table? We must only think about winning all of our matches, the standings are what they are, we are not permitted to look at the others but only at ourselves. Biglia? What did you expect from him? It has been 4-5 weeks that he has been running a lot of kilometers, it is true that he can give more in some matches, but he gives us a great balance. Andre Silva to start? We will see, he definitely needs to do more, he is someone who can do it and he has great quality. It's up to me, the club and the staff to put him in the positions where he can give his maximum."
