AC Milan is set to face AS Roma tomorrow night, with the possibility of several players returning to the lineup, either from injuries or other absences. It’s been an unusual season for Milan, but tomorrow’s match offers a chance for a fresh start.
The game pits two teams that have been labeled as the ‘most disappointing’ in Serie A, despite Paulo Fonseca’s disagreement with this assessment. For Milan, it represents an opportunity for redemption.
As a result, Milan will likely field a near full-strength squad, or at least the strongest lineup possible given the available players.
Mike Maignan is expected to start in goal, according to Milan News, with a defensive line in front of him consisting of Emerson Royal, Matteo Gabbia, Malick Thiaw, and the returning Theo Hernandez. Reports indicate that Hernandez had a positive meeting with Fonseca earlier today, which led to the decision to include him in the starting XI. This leaves Filippo Terracciano to continue in midfield, partnering with Youssouf Fofana. Ahead of them, Tijjani Reijnders will aim to make an impact as the trequartista, much like he did against Hellas Verona. Additionally, it’s possible that Ismael Bennacer could join the midfield duo during the match, with Fonseca not ruling out his involvement against Roma.
On the wings, Samuele Chukwueze and Alex Jimenez are expected to support Álvaro Morata as the central striker.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Emerson Royal, Gabbia, Thiaw, Theo; Fofana, Terracciano; Chukwueze, Reijnders, Jimenez; Morata.
