Milan coach Sergio Conceiçao initially considered leaving Theo Hernandez on the bench for the game against Lecce. However, recent reports from Sky Sport Italia indicate a change of plans. It is now expected that the French star will be in the starting lineup at left-back for tomorrow’s match.
The Rossoneri are heading to Lecce for a critical Serie A fixture against the Giallorossi this Saturday.
Milan’s recent form has been concerning, with three consecutive losses, leaving them 11 points adrift of Juventus, who currently hold the fourth spot in the league.
Earlier reports on Thursday suggested that Theo Hernandez, along with Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez, might start the upcoming game from the bench. Despite these initial indications, Sergio Conceiçao appears to have reconsidered, including the French defender in the starting eleven during today’s training session, according to Sky reports.
It is still anticipated that Leao and Gimenez will begin the match as substitutes, paving the way for Riccardo Sottil and Tammy Abraham to feature in the attack.
Warren Bondo is set to make his debut for Milan, taking a starting position in midfield alongside Tijjani Reijnders.
Mike Maignan will be serving a one-match suspension, with Marco Sportiello taking his place as goalkeeper.
