"Massimiliano Allegri is planning to change over half the team for tonight's game against Atalanta, hoping to spark AC Milan into life. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Allegri believes that Milan needed a shake-up. If the indications from yesterday afternoon's session are confirmed this morning (when the team will practice set pieces at Milanello), changes are indeed forthcoming."
"The goal is to keep the Rossoneri in the Champions League places, responding to Juventus's victory last night in Lecce and keeping Roma (who are playing today in Parma) at bay, as well as Como who also play today. There will be time to think about the future after May 24th, but in the meantime, Max has reiterated his desire to remain as Milan's head coach next season. Ideally, of course, if they qualify for the Champions League."
"On Tuesday, Allegri told the team he would base his decisions on the week's training sessions. The Milanello sessions clearly provided him with some interesting insights. The suspended Fikayo Tomori will be replaced by Koni De Winter: the Belgian will form the defensive trio alongside Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic, with the Serbian having been targeted by Manchester United."
"The biggest changes, however, will be in the other two departments. Youssouf Fofana and Ardon Jashari will be out in midfield, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be in as right midfielder, and Sauele Ricci will be in the regista role. For the Swiss, this isn't a disappointment, but rather a realisation that - having played so little this season due to injury and the presence of Luka Modric (still unavailable tonight and a spectator) - he needs time to get back to peak condition. Right now, the Rossoneri don't have time to wait."
Massimiliano Allegri intends to change more than half the team for Milan’s match against Atalanta, using the week’s training sessions as the basis for decisions. The aim is to keep Milan in Champions League places after Juventus’s win, while also staying ahead of Roma and Como. Allegri reiterated a desire to remain head coach next season, ideally with Champions League qualification. Fikayo Tomori’s suspension leads to Koni De Winter replacing him in defense alongside Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic. Midfield changes include Youssouf Fofana and Ardon Jashari out, Ruben Loftus-Cheek in as right midfielder, and Saelemaekers and Adrien Rabiot involved with rotation. Left flank rotation is set between Davide Bartesaghi and Pervis Estupinan.
