The countdown continues to tomorrow night’s big clash between Roma and Milan, scheduled for 8:45 pm at the Stadio Olimpico. It is a match that could prove to be a decisive turning point in the season for both the Giallorossi and the Rossoneri. For this reason, the initial choices made by the two coaches will be crucial, both from the opening whistle and as the game unfolds.
On the Milan side, following today’s final training session in the early afternoon, Massimiliano Allegri received confirmation that Alexis Saelemaekers is available to start, having fully recovered from his muscle problem. According to Sky, there are three major lineup changes, one in each department. In defence, Pavlovic has returned to the squad after his head injury but is not yet at full fitness, which points towards the confirmation of Koni De Winter alongside Gabbia and Tomori. In midfield, confidence is being placed in Samuele Ricci, who has made an excellent impression in recent matches and currently has the edge in a three-way battle with Fofana and Loftus. In attack, Christopher Nkunku appears to be the favourite to partner Leao, ahead of Pulisic, who is expected to start on the bench.
