Tomorrow evening, there will not be the highly anticipated return to the Allianz Stadium of Álvaro Morata as an opponent.
The Spanish striker, who was one booking away from suspension, received a (highly questionable) yellow card against Como and is now suspended for the match against the Bianconeri.
In his place, the decision is straightforward for Sergio Conceição: Tammy Abraham will start. Lately, much like his entire season, Abraham has experienced ups and downs. In two weeks, he has gone from the euphoria of scoring the winning goal in the Super Cup to criticism for glaring mistakes against Cagliari, and then praise for his brilliant assist to Leão against Como.
Amid all this, Abraham is also playing for a piece of his future. His situation was well analyzed by Tuttosport this morning:
"Abraham, the anti-Juve who sees ghosts."
On one hand, there’s the long-term future:
"In Turin, he’ll play the role of Morata, but he remains in limbo. The Englishman is on a dry loan and needs to convince Milan to buy him outright from Roma."
On the other hand, there’s the immediate future:
"And Conceição is pushing him: he wants another striker. Milan continues to press for Rashford."
