AC Milan handed Franck Kessie boost ahead of Juventus clash

AC Milan manager Gennaro Gattuso has included Franck Kessie in his 23-man squad for Saturday’s Italian Serie A encounter against Juventus.

Since the Milan derby loss to Inter which was flawed by his altercation with Lucas Biglia during the game, Kessie has missed the Rossoneri's last two matches.

On his return from Cote d'Ivoire duty, the 22-year-old was an unused against Sampdoria last Saturday and also missed Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Udinese due to a knee injury.

Ahead of Saturday's encounter against the league leaders, Gattuso confirmed that the combative midfielder who is an important part of his team is back in training and could get some playing minutes.
