Paulo Fonseca faces a challenging task as he prepares his AC Milan team to take on Juventus with limited time to make key decisions. The upcoming game holds significant importance for Milan’s season, potentially serving as a fresh start or a crucial turning point. The team must secure a victory to stay competitive in the Scudetto race or secure a spot in the Champions League. Despite last-minute disruptions, Fonseca must ensure that his squad remains focused and unaffected by the late changes reported by Milan News.
Key players like Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez, and Emerson Royal are expected to retain their positions in the starting lineup. Malick Thiaw is set to partner with Matteo Gabbia in defense, while Tijjani Reijnders and Youssouf Fofana are likely choices in midfield.
