On the evening of Sunday, October 6, at 8:45 PM CEST, in the stunning setting of the 'Artemio Franchi' stadium in Florence, the big match between Raffaele Palladino's Fiorentina and Paulo Fonseca's Milan will take place, valid for the 7th round of Serie A 2024/2025.
Below are the probable lineups. After two victories against Inter and Lecce, the Rossoneri then lost to Bayer Leverkusen, bringing their total to two defeats in the Champions League. Now, however, there's a great opportunity to get back on track in the league.
Coach Paulo Fonseca should be able to count on a crucial return from the start. In goal, the usual Mike Maignan, while in defence, Emerson Royal (due to Davide Calabria’s injury) will be on the right with Theo Hernandez on the left. In the middle of the defence, Matteo Gabbia will play (once again relegating Strahinja Pavlovic to the bench) alongside Fikayo Tomori.
In midfield, Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders will take the field (also due to Ruben Loftus-Cheek's physical condition), while in the attacking midfield, Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao will play wide with Alvaro Morata in the center behind the striker. Upfront will be Tammy Abraham. On the bench will be Francesco Camarda, promoted to the first team after Luka Jovic's injury.
Probable lineups for Fiorentina - Milan:
Fiorentina - 3-4-2-1: De Gea; Quarta, Comuzzo, Ranieri; Dodo, Cataldi, Bove, Gosens; Colpani, Gumdundsson; Kean.
MILAN - 4-2-3-1: Maignan; Emerson Royal, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Morata, Leao; Abraham.
