The goalkeeping crisis that AC Milan face going into the game against Juventus will also have a knock-on impact for the Primavera too.
It was already known that Mike Maignan will be forced to miss the game against Juventus on Sunday night after he was given a straight red card during the win over Genoa before the international break.
Marco Sportiello was set to take his place, but then the club announced this afternoon that he has suffered a muscle problem in his calf and will be out for around two months, meaning it is quite a bad one.
According to Calciomercato.com, Sportiello’s injury combined with Maignan’s disqualification has sent Milan into an emergency against Juventus.
It will be Antonio Mirante’s turn to start his first game of the season, but two goalkeepers are needed for the bench and Lapo Nava is expected to be one of them.
Then, Stefano Pioli is expected to draw from Ignazio Abate’s Primavera side in all likelihood a call-up will come for Andrea Bartoccioni, a 19-year-old with five goals conceded so far in eight games across all competitions.
Let get rid of third gk and give our youth team gk chance
@Bukar. You must be smoking crack. Smh.
I expect this, but without chance you will never know Dollarrummar in your life
Donnarumma wasn’t given a chance because of injury, he was given a chance because he was good enough. He took the spot of Pepe Reina because he was better.
There is a difference between giving a player a chance because they deserve it and giving them a chance just for the sake of it.
I’m all for giving young players and opportunity but it needs to be warranted and at the right moment.
This is not the right moment to give him a go.
The article states he is the youth keeper?
Or do you want him to start of something.
*or
Dollaruma is an excellent GK in the youth team, and everyone can see that. So his call up is expected.
None of our current young GK is that good. They have potential sure, but not ready.
You think all primavera GK have the same quality as Donnarumma huh?
