New midfielder Franck Kessie is set to return from the team's national team and begin preparations for the Madonna's Derby with his teammates. After drawing Mali 0-0 last night, Cote d'Ivoire has one full month before they take on Morocco in their next match. The October 15th derby will be the first for the workhorse midfielder who has played all 630 Serie A minutes for AC Milan this young season. The Atalanta product commanded € 28 million move to the San Siro this past summer, and has looked very strong patrolling the same position Gennaro Gattuso had for many years. The long layoff for his national team gives Kessie the rest needed to be fully conditioned for Milan's most important match of the season. Sitting in seventh place in Serie A, the Rossoneri need to secure three points against Inter to keep their Champions League hopes alive, and, most likely, Vincenzo Montella's job.midfielder Franck Kessie is set to return from national team duty and begin preparations for the Derby della Madonnina with his club teammates.
