It is late afternoon in Singapore and Milan is training under the guidance of head coach Massimiliano Allegri, on the eve of the friendly match against Arsenal, scheduled for tomorrow at 1:30 PM CEST.
In the practice game, the Rossoneri coach tested the following lineup:
Maignan; Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Strahinja Pavlovic, Filippo Terracciano; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Samuele Ricci, Yunus Musah; Alexis Saelemaekers, Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic.
Due to many absences—both injuries (Youssouf Fofana and Alex Jimenez) and players not called up (Emerson Royal, Luka Modric, and Santiago Gimenez), Max Allegri has a heavily altered lineup.
In the recent training sessions, according to Milan News, Rafael Leao was deployed as the striker with Christian Pulisic on the left and Alexis Saelemaekers on the right; out of necessity. As for Fikayo Tomori, he was adapted to right-back while Filippo Terracciano was preferred on the left over Davide Bartesaghi.
Italian centre-forward, Lorenzo Colombo, who is set to move to Parma, was not fielded in his natural role as a central forward.
