We are back to the league after the important Champions League victory against Girona, which puts the AC Milan team in a position to secure a top-8 finish with a win in Zagreb.
Serie A is equally important, and the team must respond after dropping 3 points in last week’s away match in Turin.
Conceição, who will not speak in a press conference, regains Pulisic and Chukwueze, as well as Tomori (suspended in the Champions League), Jimenez, and Jovic (both excluded from the European squad).
Parma will arrive at San Siro tomorrow, and the Rossoneri, while awaiting Walker, are expected to line up as follows.
Emerson Royal will be sidelined for a long time due to a calf injury, and Calabria regains his starting spot in defense, despite not being in top condition in recent days.
If he’s unable to play, either Terracciano or Jimenez, now a regular part of the first team, will take his place.
In midfield, Youssouf Fofana could be rested for the first time this season, as he’s one booking away from suspension. With Inter coming up after Parma, it would be a disaster to face the derby without the team’s best midfielder this season. Musah is ready to step into midfield, with Bennacer deployed in a more central role.
In attack, Conceição has Pulisic back, who got a few minutes against Girona, along with Okafor and Chukwueze, who trained with the group today. Tomorrow’s training session will provide more precise indications after the Portuguese coach’s final tests, but for now, this is the probable lineup, as relayed via Milannews.it:
Conceicao's possible 4-3-3 choices:
Maignan; Calabria, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo; Musah, Bennacer, Reijnders; Pulisic, Morata, Rafa Leao.
