MN: Predicted Milan XI vs. Roma – the lineup after the arrivals train | OneFootball

AC Milan are preparing for a clash against Roma on Wednesday night, and after delaying training to allow the new signings to partake, the team news has come out.

A very hectic deadline day saw Milan welcome three new signings on Monday, adding to the two that arrived prior – Kyle Walker and Santiago Gimenez. As a result of the late arrivals, Sergio Conceicao opted to alter training time to allow the newbies to be involved.

As Milan News write, Gimenez, Joao Felix and Riccardo Sottil all took part in training and are available for selection against the Giallorossi tomorrow night, however, Warren Bondo trained separately due to a pre-existing muscle issue.

Alessandro Florenzi and Ruben Loftus-Cheek also took part in training individually, continuing their personal plans to return to the group.

Following the training session, some more team news has been made available, courtesy of Milan News.

Despite the training work done, the new signings are expected to start from the bench, barring Walker and Bondo.

Mike Maignan retains his place between the sticks, Walker starts at right back, the only January arrival to take a place from the start, with Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic making up the central defensive partnership, and Theo Hernandez will start on the left.

In midfield, Yunus Musah will be joined by Youssouf Fofana, who may play more of an anchor role with Conceicao potentially trying a 4-3-3 system. This decision will see Tijjani Reijnders operate in an arguably more favourite position in a three-man midfield.

Tammy Abraham will lead the line with Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic supporting him from the wings.

All three new signings are expected to be named on the substitutes bench, so their debuts are definitely possible.

Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Walker, Tomori, Pavlovic, Theo; Fofana, Musah; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao; Abraham
