AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca must decide who will lead the line on Saturday night against Parma, and he is leaning towards a change compared to the Torino game.
Alvaro Morata will be forced to miss the next two league games against Parma and Lazio and will not report for international duty with Spain after he sustained a muscle issue during the 2-2 draw to open the season, a problem that he felt the day before the game and aggravated further.
According to what is being reported by MilanNews, it is currently Noah Okafor that is ahead of Luka Jovic in the battle for the starting striker spot in view of the game at the Tardini, despite the fact the Serbian got the nod a few days ago.
Jovic struggled to assert himself into the game against Torino whereas Okafor came on and scored a 95th-minute equaliser with an excellent volley, even if he seemed to be playing off Morata rather than acting as a lone centre-forward.
It must also be said that a wall has been erected around Milanello which has made it more difficult to predict team news. For example, nobody reported that Alexis Saelemaekers would start at left-back against the Granata.
What some need think,Okafor is best Milan attacker at this point
Guess we’ll see if Fonseca is mad like Pioli to do so the same thing over again and expect a different result each time …
Pretty embarrassing that the guy who is an actual striker – Jovic and who was picked to be the main backup to Morata – is already getting benched in favor of Okafor – a natural winger.
Great work by management on this one 😂😂😂😂
Hope we can get a real #9 before August 31 – not much choice left tho….
lol since both play better with strike partner why not think out of the box and play Jovic and Okafor together? Say 442, midfield of leao bennacer Reijnders pulisic? Camarda off the bench!
