AC Milan will take on Fiorentina away from home tomorrow and three Milan Futuro players have been called up for the game. This was confirmed by Paulo Fonseca this afternoon as the first team is struggling with a few injuries.
It was confirmed earlier today that Luka Jovic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek also will miss out on the game, after Davide Calabria was ruled out yesterday. The captain has been struggling with a lot of injuries lately, certainly making life difficult for his manager.
During today’s press conference at Milanello, Fonseca was asked about the injuries and whether he had called up any players from the Futuro side. He nodded and confirmed that the likes of Francesco Camarda, Kevin Zeroli and Alex Jimenez have been called up for the game.
In the meantime, Milan Futuro are up against Pianese this afternoon (15:00 kick-off) and will thus be without three stars. Not ideal for Daniele Bonera, but this is what he signed up for when he took the job. After all, the goal is to develop the players while also using them in the first team when needed.
Having said that, the youngsters might not get any minutes off the bench tomorrow as Fonseca has been quite restrictive with the subs.
Bugs me that Bartesaghi wont be available.
Given we have the game under control, I expect to see Zeroli and Camarda. We are thin in the midfield and at the S, SS positions and it could be a way to create some depth.
I’d like to see Jimenez for Emerson at some point. Calabria is clearly cooked.
