The latest news regarding Milan, which is training in Riyadh ahead of tomorrow night’s final match against Inter Milan
Good news is finally arriving for Rafa Leao. The Portuguese striker has started working with the group and will thus be able to be called up for the Italian Super Cup final.

The player is on the field for the finishing training being held in Riyad as are Alex Jimenez and Tammy Abraham, who have been dealing with fever in recent days. It was precisely the fever that knocked Matteo Gabbia out today. Tomorrow, however, he could sit on the bench if he has no problem. The ball now, clearly, passes to Sergio Conceicao, who has to choose the eleven to send on the field from the start.
Doubts are, in fact, few, one may be related to Rafa Leao. Should the Portuguese not feel up to sending the number ten on the field right away, he would bet on the young Spanish outfielder, who would go alongside compatriot Alvaro Morata and, of course, Christian Pulisic.
Milan, le scelte di Conceicao contro l’Inter: il Diavolo cambia volto
There will be no changes as far as the rearguard is concerned, where the block that faced Juve goes toward confirmation, ahead of Mike Maignan.

Thus Theo Hernandez will play on the left, with Emerson Royal on the right. In the center, with Gabbia feverish, there is no doubt about the duo of Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori.
In midfield, clearly, the certainties are Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders, who are also indispensable for Sergio Conceicao. But this time there is no shortage of alternatives; in addition to Ismael Bennacer, the Portuguese coach can also count on Ruben Loftus-Cheek and, of course, Yunus Musah. Precisely the American, after his excellent entrance on the field against Juve, is the main candidate to flank the Frenchman and the Dutchman. The players to be deployed thus appear to be chosen, but Sergio Conceicao is thinking about more variants: in fact, in the offensive phase, we could see a Milan deployed with a three-man defense (Emerson Royal would play the right wing brace), but also obviously with the classic 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1. The Portuguese coach, therefore, is ready to make Milan chameleon-like in order to stop and beat a team that has shown for years now that it has clear ideas and is an almost invincible battleship, even if Paulo Fonseca’s own Diavolo was one of the few clubs to beat it.
