AC Milan defender Simon Kjaer says playing in front of empty stands isn't ideal.

The Diavolo will recover the postponed game from last weekend against Genoa on Sunday in front of empty stands due to coronavirus concerns.

Kjaer said, “Without the fans it won't be a good experience, there is nothing to lift you up, everything will be empty.

“It will be strange, it will allow us to understand how we are doing mentally, to prove we are better than them and to win."

On coach Stefano Pioli, the Dane added: "I have only positive things to say about Pioli. He has given me confidence, his humanity makes the difference, he is a very good person."
