With the derby behind them, and Fonseca particularly keen on keeping the level of attention very high, Milan is preparing to face Lecce at San Siro.
Just ten days ago, it seemed like this season had started off completely on the wrong foot, but tomorrow the Rossoneri have the chance, with a victory, to be alone at the top of the standings, at least temporarily. That's why the coach emphasised how important it is to maintain continuity with the good work done in the victory against Inter on Sunday evening.
Fonseca appreciates rotation, but now is not the time for it. His words further reinforce the concept of seeking stability and consistency. And that's also why Gabbia and Tomori will once again pair up in the defensive department, flanked by Emerson and Theo on the wings.
But before discussing the midfield, let's talk about the attack, since Morata will be called up but is doubtful due to bursitis caused by a contusion in training: the Portuguese coach said that Jovic doesn't have the right characteristics to do the same work as Alvaro, so we need to see if Loftus-Cheek or Reijnders will play alongside Abraham, with the Englishman's chances increasing.
On the wings, Leao and Pulisic will still be playing, both in good form. Okafor, on the other hand, is unlikely to participate as he is currently not in the best physical condition.
Here are Paulo Fonseca's possible choices:
MILAN (4-2-3-1)
Maignan; Emerson Royal, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Abraham.
