AC Milan coach Gennaro Gattuso is working on his relationship with the locker room.

Milan meet Hellas Verona on Sunday.

Gattuso said, "I like to have a direct rapport with my players. There has to be mutual respect and the locker room is about everyone helping each other. I expect a lot from my players on the pitch, but I leave them the responsibility in the locker room. I played for many years and often in there a lot of rubbish is spoken, so I try to avoid getting involved."

Hakan Calhanoglu returns from injury and Gattuso trusts he can shine in the 4-3-3 formation.

“Go back and watch him at Bayer Leverkusen, where he was a box-to-box midfielder. He can do it all without problems thanks to his technique and stamina.

“Fabio Borini can also take on any role. If you tell him to be a goalkeeper, he'll pull on the gloves and step right between the posts, because he just doesn't give up. He puts passion and hunger into everything he does."
