Tomorrow evening is very likely the most important appointment of the season for Milan. The Rossoneri take the field at 9 PM CET at San Siro for the second leg of the Coppa Italia semifinal against their cousins, Inter.
The first leg ended 1-1, and therefore the qualification for the final is still completely open. For the red and black side of Milano, however, progressing to the next round becomes truly crucial to give meaning to the season finale, which would otherwise be a slow ending to an already very disappointing season.
After the convincing win in Udine and a performance full of light and shadow against Atalanta, Sergio Conceição is expected to confirm the eleven seen in Friuli and on Sunday evening.
One single exception is expected: the presence of Tammy Abraham, already two goals against Inter this year, in place of Luka Jovic.
Alongside the center forward will be the usual Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao. The midfield line will instead be composed of the two wingbacks Alex Jimenez and Theo Hernandez, and the central pair Fofana-Reijnders. In defence, the trio Tomori-Gabbia-Pavlovic is confirmed, positioning themselves in front of Maignan.
Both Walker and Loftus-Cheek will return to the bench: the full-back could even have a minimal chance of starting, as a last-minute surprise move.
Milan's possible lineup:
Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Jimenez, Fofana, Reijnders, Theo; Pulisic, Abraham, Leao.
