Absent against Venezia due to a physical issue that arose during the warm-up, Luka Jovic could return to lead Milan’s attack tomorrow night against Genoa. As La Gazzetta dello Sport writes this morning:
“Jovic is back. Against Genoa, three strikers for one spot"
That is referring to the fact that Sergio Conceição will also have Tammy Abraham and Santiago Gimenez at his disposal—Gimenez coming off a goal against the Venetians.
However, the sense is that the Portuguese coach will use the Genoa match as a dress rehearsal for the lineup that will take the field on the evening of the 14th in Rome against Bologna. Given that, it seems more likely that Jovic will start against Genoa, while Gimenez and Abraham will probably compete for a starting spot in Friday’s game at San Siro against the Rossoblù—a match that will serve as a preview of the Coppa Italia final.
