Ruben Amorim’s Milan make their debut today at 16:00 against Celtic in their first summer friendly. According to Tuttosport, these are the probable line-ups the Portuguese coach will field in Scotland, with one team expected in each half.
Milan, all players under evaluation
The two teams will not make a clear distinction between starters and substitutes, allowing the coach to assess all players under the same conditions. The reference formation will be the 3-4-2-1, which has been used since the very first training session.
Christopher Nkunku, who is sidelined with a knock, and Pietro Terracciano, who has remained at Milanello due to a hip problem, will both miss the match.
Great attention will be focused on players whose futures are uncertain on the transfer market, such as Yunus Musah and Youssouf Fofana, who are eager to convince the new coach to count on them.
Samuele Ricci will operate as the deep-lying playmaker, while Samuel Chukwueze could be tested in the attacking midfielder role, a position where he had impressed before his move to the Rossoneri.
In attack, Francesco Camarda and Andrej Kostic will share minutes, with both competing for the role of Gonçalo Ramos’ deputy (the Portuguese striker will join the squad during the pre-season tour).
The situation surrounding Santiago Gimenez also remains open. He is being monitored by Lazio, but Milan would only consider a permanent transfer.
The friendly will also provide a good opportunity to watch promising young players such as Cissé, Yahya Idrissi and Guernier.
