Ardon Jashari should get the chance from start in AC Milan’s clash against Lazio, replacing the suspended and important Adrien Rabiot, as highlighted by the papers this morning.
Due to the yellow card that he picked up against Inter, Rabiot will be serving a one-game suspension against Lazio tomorrow. It’s a pretty big blow for Massimiliano Allegri given just how important the Frenchman has been, but at the same time, it’s only healthy to find a deputy.

That has been the main topic of discussion in the last few days, i.e. which player will be the deputy. Samuele Ricci seemed like the favourite initially but the situation has now changed, with Jashari now in pole position for a starting spot.
Ahmed and Oliver both suggested that this is the right way to go in the latest podcast, as Ricci has been a bit of a bystander lately, while Jashari has actually impressed. In any case, the newspapers wrote about the battle on the front pages this morning.
