Reports: Abraham to be called up vs. Lazio – the shirt number he has chosen

By Oliver Fisher -

Paulo Fonseca will be able to count on Tammy Abraham immediately as the striker should be called up for AC Milan’s away game against Lazio tomorrow, a report claims.

Abraham underwent a medical earlier today ahead of joining Milan on what will be a season-long loan deal, with Alexis Saelemaekers going the opposite direction but under the same formula.

According to Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri still have time to register the 26-year-old for tomorrow’s game at the Stadio Olimpico, thanks to the derogation from the regulation requested by the Serie A clubs and accepted by the FIGC.

The Federal Council decided to allow clubs to file any changes to the list of 25 players with the following new terms:

– Until 00:00 on 29 August 2024 for clubs that will play matches on 30 August 2024.

– Until 10:00 on 31 August 2024 for clubs that will play matches on 31 August 2024.

– Until 00:00 on 31 August for clubs that will play matches on 1 September 2024.

Lazio-Milan will be played on Saturday 31 August 2024 at 20:45, therefore Milan have until 10:00 tomorrow morning to include the Englishman in their squad list.

According to MilanNews, Abraham has chosen No.90, a first for him. Since the 2019-20 season, he has always worn the the No.9, which however at Milan belongs to Luka Jovic.

We have to go back to his time at Aston Villa in the 2018-19 season to find a different shirt number: 18. In the past, Abraham has also used the 19 and 42 at Chelsea and the 10 at Swansea.

  1. We can only welcome you and support you with hope for a better and successful season after your long term injury at Roma you have decline.

  2. A jersey number over 49 is ridiculous. Juventus banned them, why don’t we defend. It’s a tradition in football to have as few numbers as possible, and I don’t know why Milan doesn’t do like Juventus. The number 80, 79, 90, 99 jersey is ugly and who will buy it? These are complex people, they can’t reach the number 8, 9 or 10, so they take the numbers as if they were playing American football. No serious club has such numbers. Ban, period.

      1. There is something that is tradition and by which we recognize a player, something with which that player identifies. Why do they wear numbers that do not belong to the football tradition and which are not found in the other five leagues?

        1. It’s 2024. We recognise the player buy the name that signed on the back of the shirt..
          Tradition is overrated. You’re here whining about numbers like it matters..what’s the difference if a player has 69 or 29 on the back? It makes 0 difference.

          And other leagues do use high numbers. Remind me which number mesiala has, or foden, rice? Jao neves?

          1. Now they are only smart in Serie A, in other leagues they are stupid, so they didn’t allow it. That’s why Serie A is the best and the players flock to it because it is not a slave to tradition 🤣🤣. Juve doesn’t have them, but if Juve is a serious club, even Atalanta will abolish them, because when the players run around the field it looks like we’re watching American football.

          2. I open the juve squad and di gregy #29. Instant slap in your ‘jUvEdOeSnThAvEtHeM’.
            Go check the clubs and numbers before you speak of this again..boomer

          3. Hahaha you say Gregy #29 means Juve don’t have players with numbers 80, 90 and 99? There is no Real Madrid, there are no Bayern, Barcelona… Now only in Milan they are smart to allow Ronaldo to treat the complexes with the number 99. At Real, he initially wore 11, when 9 was with Morientes. In our country, it had to be 99, which means that the number is important. Then they allowed other green beans to take birth year numbers, and that was started by Ronaldinho. Why doesn’t one of the top five leagues allow it, and Serie A except Juventus does? Milan like Torino and Empoli 🤦

          4. And here I thought the issue was 90 and tammy. But the dude ia going on about Ronaldo.
            Again what’s the fûcking difference in having a #90 or #82 or #42 or #29?
            Grow up brah, it’s just numbers, they won’t hurt you

          5. Why do players suffer for numbers? They need to be rid of that superstition and period. Here are the free numbers from 1 to 40, so choose. Why does Abraham have to be 90? because it has the number 9?

    1. It’s not just about tradition or style , I do think there’s some substance to it .

      Fundamentally these ridiculous squad numbers mask the ridiculous squad sizes.

      I’ve honestly lost count how many players we have in our first team squad but it must be around 30 PLUS there’s the primavera and Futuro.

      It’s an absolute mess.

      We have about 5 CFs now.

      Normal squad numbers would at least allow us quickly now farcical our squad size is and question it.

    1. A tradition since 2007. first Ronaldo 99, because number 9 was taken, and then Ronaldinho 80 because he couldn’t get to number 10. Watch out for 80 and 99 🤣🤣🤣 you’ll laugh.

      1. You no get work??? Wat has a jersey number got to do with we fans for god’s sake? If it is bkuz of the big jersey number dat Tammy choose dat is bothering pls don’t watch out match dis season after this season Tammy will go or probably change the number if he finally stays then you can come back instead of dis unnecessary arguments about jersey number.

  3. I rate this signing. Zero spent for a player 3 years ago I was cursing Milan for not being able to afford. He only came back in April after newroyva year injured so he should be fit and raring to go at 26 with a lot of experience behind him, lining up with his mate tomori and under fonseca who coached him previously. Honestly we keep
    Him fit he’s netting 15-20 this year. Also 6.3” its great to get done hight in the box for when leak spoons a lofted ball to nowhere, Tammy might actually get to it

  4. Hahaha you say Gregg #29 means Juve don’t have players with numbers 80, 90 and 99? There is no Real Madrid, there are no Bayern, Barcelona… Now only in Milan they are smart to allow Ronaldo to treat the complexes with the number 99. At Real, he initially wore 11, when 9 was with Morientes. In our country, it had to be 99, which means that the number is important. Then they allowed other green beans to take birth year numbers, and that was started by Ronaldinho. Why doesn’t one of the top five leagues allow it, and Serie A except Juventus does? Milan like Torino and Empoli 🤦

  5. People find the strangest things to complain about. If you like barca, real, bayern squad numbers so much take your asś to their fanbase.
    Pezde

    1. Don’t knock. As far as I’m concerned, let everyone take numbers from 70 to 100, just let them play. I was talking about the superstition of players that a certain number brings them luck or that they must have a 9, be it 90 or 99. Are they more like a center forward if they have 90 or 99?

  6. Its just a number for someone, and it means something for someone else. Anybody here remember Ivan Zamorano shirt number in Inter..?? His number was 8+1…

    1. And he was very successful. In the past, numbers indicated the position on the field. CDK came to Milan and took 90 and said it was my lucky number, and we saw what luck it brought him. In this case superstition. Lukaku and Abraham take 90 because 9 is occupied, and it is a complex. Numbers from 1 to 39, so you choose which one is free and bye.
