CorSport: Fonseca considering ‘revising’ Milan XI vs. Cagliari – the changes | OneFootball

After beating Real Madrid on Tuesday, Paulo Fonseca may rotate his squad slightly to ensure that his team remains at their best.

Rotation has been an area of focus for Fonseca, due to his lack of changes in the early stages of the season, and this was heavily scrutinised with him rotating the least in Europe at one stage. However, there has been a focus to change things more frequently in recent weeks.

It seems this trend will continue this weekend, as Milan face Cagliari, and Corriere dello Sport (via Milan News) are suggesting that Fonseca will look to give some of his key players a rest after a mentally and physically draining game in Spain.

Two players seem most likely at the moment, with Samuel Chukwueze and Tammy Abraham vying for a place within the starting 11. In this case, Alvaro Morata and Christian Pulisic would probably be given a chance to rest after their persistent minutes this season for club and country.

It is noted that the Portuguese head coach is not underestimating his team’s opponents, but would rather ensure they are at their best levels, rather than overloading them. Certainly a positive change from the start of the season.
