Milan, after shaking off the euphoria of the derby, has been preparing since the beginning of the week for the match against Lazio, which will be without the injured Gabbia and Loftus-Cheek and, above all, the suspended Rabiot.
Lazio-Milan: Max Allegri’s certainties
According to today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Max Allegri has no doubts, especially given the limited options available, about the defense to field at the Olimpico: in front of Maignan, Tomori, De Winter, and Pavlovic will play.
Saelemaekers is certain to start on the right, with Modric and Fofana in midfield, and in attack, the Leao-Pulisic pairing should be confirmed, since Nkunku is behind and Fullkrug is more likely to come on during the game.
The doubts
The main uncertainties at the moment seem to be two: the left winger and Rabiot’s replacement. The first spot is being contested by the returning Bartesaghi and Estupinan, who impressed with the decisive goal against Inter, but no clear indication has been given yet, as relayed via Milan Press.
As Rabiot’s replacement, it will be either Ricci or Jashari. According to La Gazzetta, the Italian is the favorite, while Corriere dello Sport considers the Swiss ahead, since Ricci might serve more as a substitute for Fofana during the game. Nothing is certain yet; the decision will likely come from the upcoming training sessions.
