Rossoneri Round Up for Nov 12: Massara Assures Fans That Milan ‘Have Faith’ In Franck Kessie

Franck Kessie was dropped from the AC Milan squad to Turin this weekend. The Ivory Coast international was reportedly left out for disciplinary issues. Massara has discussed the situation via Football Italia “We are talking about a technical decision, the coach saw that Kessie was going through a difficult period. This week he wasn’t able to train at his full capacity and he also had some minor physical issues.”

“Pioli decided to not go with him for this match, but we are convinced that Franck will be able to get back to being the player we all know very soon.” The Ivorian is off on international duty thus will not train with the group for the next weeks.
