The halftime substitution against Como was not due to technical or tactical reasons but rather physical ones.
Theo Hernandez left the match against Fabregas' team prematurely, being replaced at the 45th minute by Sergio Conceicao to bring in Alex Jimenez.
The move was surprising, given the composed first half played by the left-back, born in 1997.
As explained by today's Gazzetta dello Sport, the change was caused by a calf discomfort suffered by the former Real Madrid player, who still decided to respond to France's call-up. His condition will be assessed in the coming days: it is worth noting that Milan's first two matches after the break will be against Napoli and Inter (Coppa Italia).
