Milan’s next opponent will be Atalanta, who will visit San Siro on Sunday evening at 20:45 CEST. It is the third-to-last round of the Serie A Enilive season and a match of huge importance for Milan’s future: the Rossoneri need six points to secure mathematical qualification for the Champions League. These must be collected in the final three matches, and the clash against La Dea is expected to be fiery, also because Palladino’s side are effectively down to their last chance to keep their European hopes alive.
The Bergamo side, according to this morning’s Gazzetta dello Sport, will today enjoy an extra rest day granted by their coach. Training will resume tomorrow in Zingonia, and Palladino will begin the first tactical preparations for the match at San Siro, aware that he will not have Lorenzo Bernasconi available for the rest of the season. Some players who have featured less could return: Ahanor and Hien are expected to retain their places, with Kossounou possibly given a chance as the third centre-back. Bakker could also return on the left, as well as Samardzic and Sulemana in more advanced roles.
