Read the most recent team news from both teams as Liverpool gets ready for their Champions League match against AC Milan.
23 players made up the travelling squad for the match, which was led by Italian summer signing Federico Chiesa.
Even though he is unlikely to start, the new No. 14 could make his club debut in the league phase match.
“This is his first time in our squad selection. “And since I said it’s the first time he’s in our team selection, it would be a big surprise for him and for everyone if he started tomorrow,” Slot remarked to the reporters on Monday night.
Therefore, I don’t think you should expect him to start, but he can make his first few minutes tomorrow if we need him. Tomorrow, we are going to see that firsthand.
“He has been practicing individually with Juve [his former club] for a significant amount of time and has just recently joined us for a few weeks, so don’t expect him to be in the starting lineup.
It is too early for him to play ninety minutes, but perhaps he can get some playing time in the future games.
Enquiries concerning midfielder Alexis Mac Allister and if the Argentinean will be utilised in a rotational strategy were also directed against Slot during his pre-game press conference.
“I think you saw that I took him out of the game against Nottingham Forest after sixty minutes, or roughly sixty minutes,” the manager shot back.
This was also influenced by the fact that he missed several days of play for the national team due to an injury that prevented him from playing the full ninety minutes, which had an effect on rotation.
Though I’ll let you know what I decide tomorrow, I believe he can play for another 60 or 90 minutes. Like the other 22, though, he is undoubtedly an important part of our team.
Milan comes into this game having just defeated Venezia 4-0 in Serie A, their first division win of the year.
Paulo Fonseca, the head coach who was hired in June, will most likely be without midfielder Ismael Bennacer, defenders Alessandro Florenzi and Malick Thiaw, and goalkeeper Marco Sportiello when the Reds come.
Luka Jovic is not a member of Milan’s Champions League squad for the league round.
Fonseca discussed the goals of his team at the news conference held before the game. This coming weekend, Milan will meet their city rivals, Internazionale.
“The same players can play [both games], but I can also have the possibility of changing in my head,” he said on Monday. This week we have three games, and I have to think about each one.
.
“Tomorrow is the most important because it’s the next Serie A game, but I can’t forget that we have the derby.”
Regarding the depth of his options in midfield, Fonseca said, “We have a lot of young players like [Kevin] Zeroli and [Silvano] Vos who has just arrived and is very good,” in response to a direct question. In addition, Bennacer was hurt. I think we have some excellent athletes in this position.This is composed of three groups: the mọi người đang chơi bóng đá, the mọi người đang chơi bóng bầu dục và văn bản.
