MN: Fonseca or Ibrahimovic’s choice – who will replace Theo Hernandez | OneFootball

With Theo Hernandez suspended for the next two games, AC Milan are left in a difficult position. Replacing the Frenchman is no easy task, and there are few options to choose from.

For so long, Theo has been Milan’s heartbeat, the constant guy to perform when others weren’t. This season, he hasn’t been that, and Sunday night was the truest showing of his current decline. A red card, a missed penalty, a penalty given away, a horror show.

In recent weeks, he has shown more of the left-back that the Rossoneri love, and know, but Sunday was a quick trip back down to earth, and with his ban being confirmed as two games, Fonseca now must make a decision about his replacement.

As Milan News writes, there is time to decide on a replacement due to the international break, which is only a good thing. However, it is a problem that still exists.

At the start of the season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic stated that Alex Jimenez would be the deputy, but he found himself behind Filippo Terracciano in pre-season. This, therefore, could be an opportunity for him to make an impression, but it is not unreasonable to think the Italian could start once again.

Alternatively, it could be neither, and Davide Bartesaghi could be the chosen one, given he has now served his own suspension.

Either way, Fonseca must decide – does he follow Ibrahimovic’s words from the summer, or make his own decision.
