AC Milan coach Stefano Pioli says they're happy to count on Ciprian Tatarusanu against Hellas Verona.

Tatarusanu steps up as Mike Maignan faces at least two weeks out after wrist surgery.

“Tomorrow he [Tatarusanu] will start, for the others I will look forward to tomorrow morning," he said. “He is a great professional, an excellent goalkeeper.

“He's available and appreciated by all. He's ready to take advantage of the opportunity. (New signing Antonio) Mirante needs an extra week of preparation, but I'm happy with him arriving.

“We need him, he's a serious guy and a great professional."
