Here’s why Dimarco didn’t play today in the derby against Milan

The left-winger was on the bench during the match against Milan. Recovery time for the Dutchman is lengthening.
We saw him on the bench during the Coppa Italia derby against Milan.
But he didn’t sit still for a moment; as usual, he joined the coaching staff in encouraging his teammates.
Federico Dimarco did not play in the first leg of the semifinal against the Rossoneri, with Carlos Augusto taking his place, later replaced by Zalewski.
The Italian full-back had returned to the starting lineup in the match against Udinese, where two of his assists helped Arnautovic and Frattesi score the goals that secured the three points.
This morning, as reported by FCINTER1908.IT, there were no issues with Dimarco, who was on the bench against Milan for precautionary reasons, especially since he had recently recovered from an injury.
On the right wing, Darmian played instead.
Dumfries is absent, and his recovery time is extending: it will likely take another 3-4 weeks before we see him back on the field.
