After the break, Milan will be back on the pitch at the Diego Armando Maradona to face Antonio Conte’s Napoli. In the first leg at the San Siro, the Azzurri prevailed with a score of two to zero: the Rossoneri, coached at the time by Paulo Fonseca, arrived at that match with many absences but still managed to perform well, but Napoli’s defensive solidity and the plays of Lukaku and Kvaratskhelia decided the match in favor of the Neapolitans.
One round all, a lot has changed: the Azzurri are fighting for the Scudetto and cannot afford any more missteps, but Milan must win to still have hopes of reaching fourth place in the standings and thus Champions League. Sergio Conceicao during this break has time and way to prepare the match in the best possible way: too early to talk about possible formations, but these days at Milanello there is a new asset that can be on the field immediately at the Maradona in a week’s time.
Napoli-Milan, scelta a sorpresa di Conceicao
Milan in recent weeks has recovered Alessandro Florenzi, who has been out of action for almost a year, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who has finally returned after more than three months. Conceicao has been waiting for the Englishman’s return with great enthusiasm: he appreciates his characteristics so much and is looking forward to seeing him in action during the match. The break is giving him a chance to recover an acceptable physical condition to be on the starting pitch immediately.

Loftus-Cheek, as of today, is in the running for a first-minute place in midfield against Napoli. Recall that Milan will not have Yunus Musah available due to disqualification, so there is a need for an alternative. The former Chelsea man can be very much so, but we need to see how he will arrive from a physical point of view on the eve of the match. Loftus-Cheek has already seen again on the field against Como because he entered a few minutes from the end, this means that from his physique come good feelings.
Starting against Napoli is a possibility to be considered, but it is too early to tell now. We will see later what Conceicao’s choices will be but Loftus-Cheek will definitely be an asset between now and the end of the season, including for the Coppa Italia semifinal with Inter, while waiting to see what happens next in the summer in the market.
