After the loss to Napoli, changes are expected at AC Milan, and Paulo Fonseca is prepared to make wholesale changes this weekend.
For many, the midweek loss has effectively written off Milan’s season. There is now an 11-point gap between the two clubs, and whilst the Rossoneri have a game in hand, a hypothetical eight-point gap is still difficult to overturn in 28 games.
This is without even considering the workload that the Diavolo face with the amount of competitions that they are in.
Because of the loss, Fonseca must go to back to the drawing board, and a report from Corriere dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan) has stated that the Portuguese is planning on changing ‘almost everything’ against Monza tomorrow.
Davide Calabria, Luka Jovic, and Tammy Abraham are all hopeful of being within the squad, with the latter awaiting a decision after this morning’s training session to confirm if he is able to play a role this weekend. Elsewhere, Matteo Gabbia will not be present due to injury.
With the players at his disposal, Fonseca is planning a ‘reshuffle’. Mike Maignan will remain between the sticks, but Calabria, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez should return after his suspension, with Malick Thiaw being the only survivor.
Tijjani Reijnders will partner Youssouf Fofana, whilst Rafael Leao and Samuel Chukwueze are expected to re-enter the team, meaning Christian Pulisic will play behind Alvaro Morata.
Fonseca is dead man, and Milan is back in banter era again.
The first part of your statement is probably true, the second part isn’t. Other than Fofana, the other 10 players starting this match were part of a squad that finished second last season. Overall this squad is mutch better than the “banter era” squads. We simply made a bad choice at coach, as Napoli did last season. Fix that and we’ll return to being competitive.
Calabria, Tomori, Theo and Leao returning are essential.
Let’s see Reijnders pick up where he left off against Bruge.
Should be a comfortable win.
If not.
JAJAJAJJA JAJAJAJA NOO SABE QUE HACER!!! JAJAJAJJA 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🇵🇹🇺🇲‼️👍🏻🤮
This Best possible Xl,
if ER and RLC plays then Clownseca is back to his best and we probably loose the game…
The changes we need… Fonesca out, Moncada out seriously I thought this guy was a good scout, how the he’ll did we still end up signing chappy players and coaches… Cardinale out he is more focused on turning Milan into a Hollywood series than getting actual result on the field.
We all know Reijnder is Good but I will like him to rest for champions league let’s musah be playing more in the double pivot with Fofana then Reijnder or pulisic will play for attacking midfield while chukwueze should be a starter on the wing but January Acmilan should reinforced in the attached like replacing leao with Armand lauriente then bring kulvshevki for attacking midfield then Dominick Berardi to be chukwueze partner in the wing.
