There has been a lot said about Jashari and his performance against Sassuolo. Unfortunately for him, not much of it has been positive, if any of it at all. Indeed, the young midfielder struggled and it seems Massimiliano Allegri will already make a change.
He is a player who needs consistency and whilst removing him from the team goes against that, Allegri needs proven players in the final weeks of the season. There is no space to take risks.
Replacements for Jashari
As Calciomercato.com writes, there are two options to replace Jashari this weekend. The first would be to see Samuele Ricci coming into the team to sit at the base, a role which he would be happy to fill, according to previous reports.
The Italian has been consistent when coming into games as a substitute or even a starter, so he offers Allegri some reliability there.
Alternatively, Youssouf Fofana could return to the base of the midfield, like he did last season. This move would see Ruben Loftus-Cheek come into central midfield to offer a more physical threat to Atalanta.
At present, there are no suggestions to which idea Allegri is leaning towards. But it is evident that he is leaning away from Jashari…
