MN: Probable Milan XI for Coppa Italia Quarter-Final vs. Roma – Full steam ahead | OneFootball

AC Milan are preparing to face AS Roma in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday night and Sergio Conceicao is not slowing down with his team selections.

It has been a difficult month for Milan and results have largely fluctuated since Conceicao’s arrival. There are many reasons why this could be, from team selections to fitness to quality. However, the Portuguese is keen for success, and this is why he is not taking the foot off the gas.

Instead, he is putting the pedal to the floor, taking every opportunity possible to give his team match minutes to learn the system, and for this reason, a full-strength XI is expected.

As Milan News reports, the defence will be as strong as it possibly can be; Mike Maignan will start, Kyle Walker will make his Coppa Italia debut on the right of Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic whilst Theo Hernandez will flank from the left.

In midfield, Youssouf Fofana will return to the starting eleven after serving his suspension in place of the departed Ismael Bennacer, he will partner Yunus Musah in the midfield, allowing Tijjani Reijnders to return to a more attacking position.

Christian Pulisic, Tammy Abraham and Rafael Leao will lead the side, with Santiago Gimenez, Joao Felix and Riccardo Sottil all available from the bench.

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