Combined AC Milan & Arsenal XI ahead of European clash
By Kian Long
Midfielder – Franck Kessie
The Ivorian has made plenty of appearances for AC Milan this season, despite being just 21 years old. Most of his appearances have come in the Europa League, and he’s impressed during the time he’s been given.
He usually applies his trade in the center of the park, excelling in both the defensive and offensive third. He’s really starting to make his mark on the first team, doing everything that Gennaro Gattusso asks of him.
Midfielder – Aaron Ramsey
It remains unclear whether the Welshman will start this match, as he was left out of Arsenal’s league match with Brighton at the weekend. There were rumors flying round that the midfielder had rows with Arsene Wenger, and even that the club are willing to sell him in the summer transfer window.
Nevertheless, he’s a truly talented player. He often gets criticized for his lack of concentration, but when he does flurry forward, he usually makes a positive impact. He loves to pick out space left by the defense and exploit it, but he may have a hard time doing this against the likes of Leonardo Bonucci.
