Paulo Fonseca is expected to hold some individual conversations with certain members of the AC Milan squad given the concerns about attitude that have emerged.

La Gazzetta dello Sport recall that Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham are among the players who have ended up in the crosshairs after the defeat against Fiorentina, the former because of his misjudged header leading to the winner and the latter because he stole a penalty then missed it.

Fonseca must work on the mentality of his players, because certain errors and especially certain attitudes are not acceptable at a time when he had asked the team for consistency, hoping to build a platform following the derby win against Inter.

The paper adds that while the coach is convinced that the group is not undisciplined, there is something to fix. In addition to the Tomori and Abraham incidents there was Theo Hernandez’s red card at full-time, but also two consecutive yellow cards for Tomori (vs. Leverkusen and Fiorentina) for protests.

Fonseca will have individual discussions – first with those who are already at Milanello and then with those who will return from representing their countries – to understand and correct things, starting with attitudes and ending with the analysis of the errors.
