Possible lineup surprise for AC Milan against Napoli: Conceicao ready to change, excellent exclusion
Esclusione a sorpresa per Napoli-Milan (ANSA) – MilanLive.it
The break is now behind us: the return to the field is getting closer and Milan is called to a feat in Naples against Antonio Conte’s team. The Azzurri, in the midst of a Scudetto fight with Inter, have already lost too many points in the last matches and want to return to victory immediately after the false step with Venezia, so as to send a message to the Nerazzurri (ahead by three points after the heavy win against Atalanta).
Sergio Conceicao has been working hard in these weeks of stoppage time to prepare the team in the best possible way, and changes in formation are not ruled out. Some rumors also speak of a possible change of module with a three-man defense to try to give more balance; however, it is difficult for this change to occur in such an important and difficult match. Therefore, we are going towards the confirmation of the usual system, but with an important novelty and an excellent exclusion.
Napoli-Milan, esclusione a sorpresa? Conceicao ci pensa
As we know, Milan will not have available Yunus Musah, one of the players most used by Conceicao in recent months. The American is disqualified and in his place, barring surprises, there will be Bondo alongside Fofana with Reijnders a few meters ahead along with Leao and Pulisic. As for the attack, there could be a big surprise.

Santiago Gimenez has not returned to top condition from commitments with the national teams: he reported a minor physical problem at the end of the match with Panama but no injuries were reported upon his return to Milanello. The Mexican is fine from a physical point of view but has found great difficulties in recent weeks with Milan after an excellent start. In contrast, Tammy Abraham did really well when called upon both with Lecce and Como (with the delicious and decisive assist for Reijnders).
For this reason, Conceicao would be considering a rotation between the two for the starting spot: the Englishman could take the field from the first minute in place then of Gimenez, who can become a weapon in the running game either together with the Roma-owned player or in his place. Tomorrow the coach will speak in a press conference at 1:30 p.m. and we will surely have more indications regarding this possibility. He could be the only real formation surprise in Naples.
