After the great Champions League victory away at Real Madrid, Milan must shift their focus back to the league, particularly to their away match against Cagliari, the last game before the international break.
The Rossoneri need to build on their success against the Blancos, but unfortunately, they’ll be without Alvaro Morata, one of the team’s undisputed leaders, who will miss the match due to a head injury sustained after a collision with Pavlovic during training, as pointed out by Milannews.it.
Who will replace the Spaniard at the center of the Rossoneri attack? A bombshell from Fonseca in the press conference left everyone surprised:
Francesco Camarda will start for AC Milan vs Cagliari.
Abraham is fit but not yet in top form, while Jovic will also miss the match. Fonseca confirmed that Leao, one of the top performers against Real, will start as well. Chukwueze is expected to reclaim his spot on the right wing, while the ever-reliable Pulisic will play behind Camarda.
In midfield, Paulo Fonseca can no longer do without the Fofana-Reijnders duo, while in defense, there are the “usual” two competitions: Emerson Royal and Calabria are competing for the right-back position, while Thiaw will partner with either Tomori or Pavlovic in the center. Completing the Rossoneri's defensive line in front of Maignan will, of course, be Theo Hernandez.
AC Milan's possible lineup:
4-2-3-1: Maignan; Emerson, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo; Fofana, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao; Camarda.
