On Saturday, February 15, at 20:45 CET, the San Siro stadium, will host the match between Sérgio Conceição's Milan and Paolo Zanetti's Verona, valid for the 26th round of the 2024/2025 Serie A season.
Having put the defeat against Feyenoord behind them and with the goal of overturning the result in the return leg, the Rossoneri could take the field with a reshuffled lineup.
Coach Sérgio Conceição is expected to implement a partial overhaul, as reported by Gazzetta.it. In goal, the usual Mike Maignan should start, while in defense, the flanks will be occupied by Kyle Walker on the right (as Emerson Royal is still injured) and Theo Hernández on the left. In the center, Malick Thiaw is set to play, given that Fikayo Tomori is suspended due to a double yellow card against Empoli, alongside Matteo Gabbia.
In midfield, Youssouf Fofana and Yunus Musah will be supported on the wings by Riccardo Sottil and Alex Jiménez. Finally, in attack, the duo of João Félix and Santiago Giménez is expected to start.
Both Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leão will therefore be left out.
What is Milan's likely lineup vs Verona?
4-4-2: Maignan; Walker, Gabbia, Thiaw, Theo Hernandez; Jimenez, Musah, Fofana, Sottil; Joao Felix, Gimenez.
What is Verona's likely lineup vs the Rossoneri?
3-4-1-2: Montipò, Daniliuc, Coppola, Dawidowicz; Tchatchoua, Niasse, Duda, Bradaric; Suslov; Sarr, Mosquera.
