For the first time this season there will be no Ricci or Lukic from the 1st minute: it has never happened before. Linetty candidate from 1′, ballot for the other shirt
Open castings. Also because never before will Juric be called upon to make a great effort to invent a completely new midfield. Certainly unprecedented, also because from the beginning of the season to today at least Ricci or Lukic have always been lined up in official matches, between the championship and the Italian Cup. One or the other or both together: with Milan it won’t be possible because if the Serbian has left Toro, the former Empoli player is instead in the pits where he will be forced due to injury. In short, certainties change because the emergency will force the necessary changes.
Ilic tries to recover
Linetty – barring sensational twists on the eve – is the player from whom Juric will start. In the center of the field, ready from 1 ‘to battle a San Siro. Instead the doubt is on the partner because a lot will probably depend on the conditions of Ivan Ilic. A blow to the ankle is forcing him to work separately and a recovery will be attempted without forcing too much, to avoid further trouble.
Vieira and Adopo are candidates
If he doesn’t make it, the ballot would be between two: on the one hand Adopo, who after his goal in the Italian Cup had also found a shirt from the 1st, on the other the newcomer Vieira, already thrown into the fray by Juric against Udinese. He knows the Serbian from the former Sampdoria, having already had the opportunity to work at Verona with the Croatian. One plus: the castings are open.
