On Tuesday night, AC Milan will play their first Champions League match against Liverpool. Paulo Fonseca isn’t anticipated to play a lot after defeating Venezia 4-0, but three changes are anticipated, per a report. In fact, Milan’s victory against Venezia on Saturday gave them a significant confidence boost and will give them some optimism going into their match against Liverpool. Or, as Luca Serafini called it, “a little bit of oxygen,” but any way, the strategies will be put to the test. MilanNews reports that Fonseca will stick with the “new midfield” he used against Venezia, starting Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the duo and Tijjani Reijnders at No. 10. However, there ought to be two defensive lineup adjustments, with Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria starting.
Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Pavlovic, Hernandez; Fofana, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao; Morata were the predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1). Alvaro Morata, farther up the field, is expected to play right away following his injury recovery. Although Tammy Abraham was among the finest players against Venezia, it is understandable that Fonseca might not want to take a chance on him given his intense work ethic. It should be mentioned that Luka Jovic isn’t listed in the Champions League roster, and Malick Thiaw is still recovering from his injury.
