"Almost immediately after the game against Sassuolo, suggestions were that Samuele Ricci or Fofana would be coming into the team, but now it seems that the latter could be preferred. Fofana and van Bommel As Tuttosport writes, Luka Modric's injury is forcing Milan to look at the midfield again and there needs to be a solution found for the final few games of the season. Considering the Jashari 'experiment' did not work, Allegri is being forced to try a new idea."
"Firstly, it would be a return to a favoured role for Fofana. He has previously admitted that he is not the biggest fan of his current role within the set-up. So maybe he is the one who should have the keys moving forward. Sunday could be a test for now and the future, then."
"Additionally, it can be viewed in another previous light, too. For Allegri, it would be a flashback to the 2010-11 season, where Mark van Bommel was launched in the midfield three. That added solidity brought the Scudetto and whilst that same feat is unachievable this season, if Fofana's move brought a Champions League place, it would leave the Italian feeling very happy."
Luka Modric’s injury is forcing Milan to revisit its midfield setup for the final games of the season. After the match against Sassuolo, Samuele Ricci or Fofana were expected to enter the team, but Fofana now appears more likely to be preferred. The change is tied to the failure of a prior midfield experiment, leaving Massimiliano Allegri to try a new approach. Fofana could return to a more suitable role, since he has previously said he is not comfortable in his current position. The plan also resembles the 2010-11 setup that used Mark van Bommel in a midfield three, aiming for added solidity and improved results.
