Today, Sergio Conceição will have to do without his compatriot and number 10 Rafael Leão: the Rossoneri player, in the last match against Genoa, received a yellow card while on a warning, which will force him, this evening, to watch the match between Milan and Bologna from the stands at San Siro and to arrive a bit more rested for the Coppa Italia final appointment next Wednesday, May 14, at the Olimpico.
It would have been interesting to understand, given the benching in Genoa and the idea of going with the starters again tonight, what choice the coach would have made if Leão had been available.
As mentioned, even without one of his best men, Sergio Conceição wants the starters on the field tonight:
"Milan, Rafa is not there. The other stars on the pitch."
And further is read between the headline and subheading: "Conceição rides the positive wave and reflects on the importance of this match also in view of the Coppa Italia. Sergio backtracks and abandons the temptation of rotation. Maignan, Theo, Reijnders, and Pulisic all in."
Among the unavailable players, it’s not only Leão: also absent are the injured Fofana, Bondo, Sottil, and Royal, as per Corriere dello Sport.
