"AC Milan will face Lazio for the second time in just a few days on Thursday night when they have a rematch in the Coppa Italia. As MilanPress recall, a precious 1-0 victory at San Siro thanks to Rafael Leao's goal allowed Milan to climb into top spot. All of the controversy surrounding the finale, however, means that Lazio will be out for some revenge."
"Among them is certainly Luka Modric: after 13 out of 13 starts and only 25 minutes of rest so far, he could use a rest. The same probably applies to Youssouf Fofana. In midfield, there's no shortage of options: Thursday's match against Lazio could be the perfect opportunity to see Ardon Jashari back in the starting line-up. Samuele Ricci and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are also capable and available."
AC Milan face Lazio again in the Coppa Italia after a 1-0 San Siro win by Rafael Leao that put Milan top. The San Siro ending included a mistaken VAR intervention for a non-existent handball, raising tensions ahead of the Olympic Stadium rematch. Milan prioritize the Coppa Italia as a major target due to no European fixtures and a desire to avenge last season's painful defeat to Bologna. Massimiliano Allegri will balance consistency with necessary rotation, especially in midfield where Luka Modric and Youssouf Fofana need rest, while Ardon Jashari, Samuele Ricci, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek provide options and defensive changes are possible.
