AC Milan Probable Lineup Vs Inter Milan – Two Doubts At The Back For Paulo Fonseca | OneFootball

AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca is preparing his starting lineup for Sunday’s big showdown against Inter Milan, but still has to resolve a couple of doubts at the back.

The Portuguese finds himself walking on thin ice just five matches into his spell at Milanello.

The Rossoneri had to wait until the fourth round of Serie A to earn their maiden victory in the new campaign.

But while the 4-0 thrashing of Venezia sparked some hope, it was quickly dispelled by a disappointing display in the Champions League against Liverpool.

The Rossoneri suffered a 1-3 defeat against the Reds in front of the furious San Siro home crowd.

Therefore, Fonseca has no other choice but to produce an improved showing in the Derby della Madonnina.

So how will the Milan manager line up his men on Sunday night?

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FcInterNews, Alvaro Morata will lead the line for the Diavolo.

The Spaniard will spearhead the 4-2-3-1 formation, with Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic on the wings as usual.

Tijjani Reijnders will play in the hole once more, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek joins Youssouf Fofana in the double pivot.

Moreover, Theo Hernandez will start on the left flank, but the rest of the defensive line remains uncertain.

As the pink newspaper explains, club captain Davide Calabria and new signing Emerson Royal are vying for a spot on the right lane. The Italian remains the favorite to get the nod.

Moreover, Matteo Gabbia is pushing for a starting berth at the expense of either Strahinja Pavlovic or Fikayo Tomori.

The good news for Fonseca is Mike Maignan’s return to action following an injury scare against Liverpool.

Milan Probable XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Loftus-Cheek; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao; Morata.
