Tomorrow evening against Atalanta, Sergio Conceicao is expected to confirm the same formation and the same players who started from the first minute a week ago in the match away to Udinese. Up front, there will once again be Luka Jovic, who should be preferred over Tammy Abraham and Santiago Gimenez.
The Mexican has recovered from the knock he took in the match at San Siro against Fiorentina and has been training with the group since yesterday: he won’t be at 100%, but he is available to coach Conceicao. The Portuguese coach continues to rely on the Serbian due to his more than interesting form: in Udine, even though he didn’t score, he played an effective match, creating space for the runs of the wingers and midfielders with his intelligent movements, as relayed via Milannews.it.
Between the posts, Maignan returns after the scare at the Bluenergy Stadium: the tests all came back negative and the Frenchman resumed normal training yesterday. The three-man defensive line is confirmed: Tomori, Gabbia, and Pavlovic delivered a solid performance in the last league match.
In midfield, Jimenez and Theo will be on the flanks, ready to unleash all the horsepower of their engines, while in the center it will once again be up to Fofana and Reijnders: despite not being without flaws, they are the midfield duo that has offered the most reliability this season. Behind Jovic, there can only be Leao and Pulisic, the team’s most dangerous weapons.
Milan (3-4-2-1):
Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Jimenez, Youssouf Fofana, Reijnders, Theo; Pulisic, Leao; Jovic.
