AC Milan return to Serie A action tonight in front of their own fans at San Siro as they take on Hellas Verona hoping for another three points.
Milan need to bounce back after their 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the Champions League in midweek, a performance in which the forwards disappointed in particular.
Sergio Conceicao did not do a pre-match press conference, but it is obvious he will be deeply frustrated by the result in midweek and reports have suggested that he is going to revolutionise the squad again.

The match tonight at San Siro could be an opportunity of sorts too, given that Lazio play Napoli and Juventus host Inter on Sunday.
La Gazzetta dello Sport: “All about Joao. Conceicao crossroads. He wants a Milan that is always Felix (happy).”
Corriere dello Sport: “Milan, Leao and Pulisic out. Conceicao faces Verona.”
Tuttosport: “Milan try to restart without the Fantastic 4.”
QS: “The Diavolo are in a hurry. Milan-Verona, Conceicao changes with the Champions League in mind.”
Wouldn’t be the worst idea to rest them unless he needs them in second half as the tie against feyenoord will be a big game which we have to win
I would have dropped LEAO but I can understand why he is dropping both. Players are too sensitive and the coach has to find a way to keep them happy. LEAO wouldn’t have like it if he was the only one dropped.
My only concern is the fact that we keep changing the line up.
Chuk, Sottil and the other reserves need to earn their keep. They must bring home the points so we can face bigger fish next week.
Also I would play Abraham against Feyenoord rather than Gimenez. He felt lost (Gimenez) against them.
Sergio needs to return Tiji in a more advanced role and pair up Fofana with Terra or Musah in order to get our front line clicking once more. We were at our best offensively when he held that position. Joao just isn’t working and I wouldn’t expect him to on a consistent basis. He is on a different wavelength to the others since he hasn’t gelled so far.
