"Massimiliano Allegri was asked about who will replace Luka Modric in midfield against Fiorentina, and if you read between the lines, there seems to be a current favourite. After starting every single game in the league so far (!), Modric is finally set to get some rest. As confirmed by Allegri during his pre-match presser for Fiorentina-Milan, it's very unlikely that the Croatian will feature tomorrow, even if he will be on the bench."
"Ricci and Jashari are two excellent players. Ricci has played almost 1,000 minutes and is very reliable. I'm very happy. We now have four games back-to-back, so perhaps there will be more changes. "When you play one game a week, it's difficult to replace starters. Jashari will have a bright future, Ricci has made himself very useful. I don't know who will play tomorrow, or maybe they will both play," he stated."
Luka Modric is unlikely to start against Fiorentina and is expected to be on the bench to receive rest after starting every league game so far. Ricci and Jashari are presented as the primary alternatives for the central midfield role. Ricci has logged almost 1,000 minutes this season and is described as very reliable. Jashari is identified as a talented youngster with a bright future. Four consecutive fixtures increase the likelihood of rotation and more changes to the starting lineup. Ricci is currently the favourite to start and may play in a true mezz'ala role.
