AC Milan have departed for the capital this afternoon on the eve of the game against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico today night.
A reaction is needed after the poor start to the league campaign, with only one point obtained in two games which is the worst return since the 2011-12 season. The 2-2 draw against Torino only came because of a late fightback, while the 2-1 defeat to Parma set the alarm bells ringing.
As MilanNews report, Paulo Fonseca announced the call-up of the Milan Futuro quartet of Francesco Camarda, Kevin Zeroli, Davide Bartesaghi and Hugo Cuenca. In addition to being a good taste of senior football, it is somewhat of a necessity given the absences.
Alvaro Morata, Marco Sportiello and Alessandro Florenzi are absent as was known before, but Malick Thiaw, Luka Jovic and Ismael Bennacer must be added to the list. The latter two are officially out due to physical problems but there are still rumours involving a deadline day exit for each.
Thiaw sprained his ankle in training earlier this week and while it is only minor, it seems that the decision has been made not to risk him tomorrow night. Morata meanwhile should return after the international break.
