Sky: Fonseca to make more changes vs. Udinese – Tomori and Abraham to be ‘punished’ | OneFootball

Sky journalist Manuele Baiocchini is predicting that Paulo Fonseca will make further changes to the starting line-up for Saturday’s game against Udinese at San Siro.

A number of new doubts have erupted about this Milan side after they lost both games going into the international break, leading to suggestions that Fonseca is back under pressure and more engineer another turnaround like he did before the derby with Inter.

There have been several reports claiming that the usual starting XI could change, especially given that Theo Hernandez is suspended while a number of players are away on international duty and will arrive back at difference times, then the penalty debacle against Fiorentina didn’t help.

Speaking live outside Casa Milan on Sky, Baiocchini spoke about Milan’s return to training a few days for the game against Udinese, making the prediction that Fonseca will alter things again as he has done a few times already.

“I expect Fonseca to change again, because he has shown that he knows how to do it when needed. And so he surprised everyone a bit in the derby with that 4-2-4, because then in the end he says that nothing has changed, that only the players and their characteristics in the system have changed,” he said (via MilanNews).

“But then we saw that Morata, it’s true that he put him in as an attacking midfielder, he plays as an attacking midfielder, but Morata, in his DNA, has the characteristics of a first striker. So I think it will change again, probably from the next match, with different players.

“Maybe the formation, the base, will remain the same, but in any case depending on the characteristics of the players. For example, if Okafor were to play instead of Abraham, the face of Milan up front will also change.

“I don’t think Morata and Abraham can be used for many more matches up front, also because from what I understood in this week of break, both Abraham and Tomori could be, in inverted commas, punished for what happened in Florence. So I expect a different Milan.”
