With the winter recruitment, AC Milan have recently gained the ability to play four forwards at once, but it has not been a positive experiment so far.
Despite the hype of the new arrivals, there has been little action upon it. Santiago Gimenez has shown his promise, whilst opinions of Joao Felix are certainly mixed. When added to the squad together, alongside the other attackers, the unit has underwhelmed.
After their first outing against Feyenoord, there were questions about the system and the potential it had, and since then no answers have been found, leading Sergio Conceicao to plan a recall.
As Corriere dello Sport (via Milan News) writes, this shelving will happen once again against Bologna, and the four will become three on Thursday night.
A decision about who will be benched is yet to be made, but the report suggests that Gimenez and Christian Pulisic are the ‘only certains’ given they have shown their quality despite the change in the system.
The same cannot be said for Felix and Rafael Leao, though, and it seems that the winger will be the one on the bench once again – something which seems more likely with Conceicao’s usage of the Chelsea loanee. It is reported that the decision will be made after the final training session this afternoon.
