AC Milan’s possible lineup vs Cagliari | Abraham set to start

After the great victory in the Champions League away at Real Madrid, it's time for the Rossoneri to focus back on the league, particularly the trip to Cagliari, the last match before the international break, as relayed via Milannews.it.

The team must build on their success against the Blancos, but unfortunately, they will be without Álvaro Morata, one of the undisputed driving forces of the Rossoneri, who will miss the game due to a head injury sustained in a training collision with Strahinja Pavlovic.

Who will play in place of the Spanish striker at the center of AC Milan's attack?

Unless there are surprising changes, the starting center forward will be Tammy Abraham, who returned to the field in Madrid after missing several games due to a shoulder issue (Luka Jovic should be available again, with Francesco Camarda possibly called up).

Rafael Leao, one of the best players against Real Madrid, is also likely to start. On the right, Samuel Chukwueze is expected to return to the starting lineup, while Christian Pulisic will play behind Abraham.

In midfield, Paulo Fonseca can no longer do without the Youssouf Fofana - Tijjani Rejnders duo, while in defence, there are the usual two positional battles: Emerson Royal and Calabria are competing for the right-back spot, while in the middle, Malick Thiaw will play alongside either Fikayo Tomori or Strahinja Pavlovic. On the left flank, however, there should be the usual Theo Hernandez.
