Looking at the videos he’s already on the comeback trail but I’d be cautious of throwing him straight in.

True , he can definitely use his right with decent power but we have no idea how far he is along the trail to full fitness. By releasing the video would seem that he is saying look I'm on the way back, get a better idea if he comes in on Friday and the club update us on how long it will be before he resumes full training.
 
I've been thinking about the man that is Kulu and i'll say straight away I have in the preferred him centrally as I think that suits his attributes best and I think we've seen him at his most influential there. The 2nd Ange season was all about Kulu until the injury.

So with that in mind if we imagine he does come back, where does everyone see him positionally? Given that Kudus will also just be returning and Odobert we realistically won't see anything from until Jan next year we don't really have any depth at RW.

Is Kulu our best depth option there? I would personally rather see him through the middle but is it needs must and also how will De Zerbi see him? Is he likely to see him as an ACM or a RWF?

I think it's options, my understanding of RDZ is he can use wide players who either stay wide (classic winger) or one's that cut in to the space in-between and drive to goal (obvious fit there for Kulu). Said it elsewhere, we could have some interesting options

- Savino (if it happens) and Kudus will be more hug the touchline, with FBs inverting
- Tel and Kulu would be more cut in, with Robertson and Spence (Gray?) staying out wide

Then you have the play no winger option
- Midfield of Tonali/Fernandes with something like Maddison/Gallagher/Kudus in front of them. You could also put Kulu in the 10 there and someone else wide.

This season becomes an interesting test, Maddison/Xavi/Deki/Gallagher probably all have to prove they are worth sticking with (both fitness and impact wise)

He's our best ACM, at least till Simons returns and hopefully blossoms. So I'd play him there, but occasionally rotate to give Kudus a break (with Maddison coming into ACM)

I'm less sure about Kudus in your scenario. I think there is a player there that can play on the inside with an overlapping full-back OR stay in the wide areas. The trick is to have both in your armoury so it is harder to setup against.

I can't say I disagree regarding the hierarchy.

It's interesting because we have 3 first team standard ACMs all who play quite differently and will give different looks when they play. Sadly two have been out with long term injuries. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out if they are ever all fit and available at the same time.
