CorSport: Conceicao to stick with three-man defence vs. Atalanta – the doubts to resolve | OneFootball

As we approach the Atalanta game on Easter Sunday, some more clues are emerging from training about how AC Milan will line up.

This morning’s edition of Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) gives us the latest updates three days before Milan-Atalanta, and it starts with the formation that Conceicao plans to use. It should come as no surprise that he intends to stick with the three-man defence.

The 3-4-3 used against Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium one week ago produced the joint-best result of the season in terms of scoreline, as the Rossoneri ran riot and won 4-0. The only doubt is the centre-forward role, a battle between Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham.

As for Mike Maignan, he wants to play against La Dea but because it is a head injury the utmost caution must be exercised. This, further evaluations will take place between today and tomorrow about if he is fit to play.

At present, the idea is to have Marco Sportiello play for the league match, while Maignan could return for the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg against Inter next Wednesday. Santiago Gimenez is also in doubt as he continues to struggle with a sore side, and he has trained alone this week.
