MN: Reijnders recovers and should start against Fiorentina – the predicted line-up | OneFootball

There were some concerns regarding Tijjani Reijnders’ condition which emerged on Friday, but good news has arrived on the day of the Fiorentina game.

Sky reported yesterday afternoon that Reijnders missed training at Milanello due to illness, and a decision would be made today after the scheduled training session. Should he not be well enough, they stated that Yunus Musah would get his spot in midfield.

However, the latest update from MilanNews is a positive one. After the doubts that permeated yesterday due to a sickness bug, the 26-year-old is feeling better. He has been called up and should take the field from the first minute in Milan-Fiorentina this evening.

Now, the predicted XI is as follows (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Walker, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Reijnders, Fofana; Leao, Pulisic, Chukwueze; Abraham

It is a boost for Sergio Conceicao given that Milan have to win to keep their European hopes alive. Players like Reijnders are needed, especially with the season that he has been having, given he has performed well both in the No.10 role and in the double pivot.

The Dutchman has already racked up 44 appearances this season, with 13 goals to his name and four assists. He and Christian Pulisic have been the shining lights in an otherwise very forgettable season.
