Milan is also still dealing with an injury emergency. Christian Pulisic is back and never seems to stop: yesterday against Juventus he was among the best on the field, always ready to sacrifice himself even in the non-possession phase. Quantity and quality at the service of the team: a gem. Musah also came back the right way: his was the cross that then triggered Gatti’s own goal. Loftus-Cheek, on the other hand, was in the stands as was Rafael Leao, whom Sergio Conceicao hopes to recover for the final match against Inter Milan. Here is the latest news directly from Riyad ahead of the big event scheduled for Monday.

According to reports by Matteo Moretto, the Portuguese striker is not yet ready and will not be on the field from the first minute against Inter. However, there is at least one piece of good news: barring any resounding twists and turns, the former Lille man will be on the bench and may, if necessary, take over in the game in progress to help the team. It will also depend a lot on the situations and how the match turns out.

The problem is that the condition of Alex Jimenez, who came off badly in yesterday’s match against Juventus, must be evaluated. He took Leao’s place at outside left and, should he be okay, he should still take his place with Pulisic on the right. Most likely, then, Milan will line up with the same formation seen in the semifinals: Conceicao will therefore focus on continuity, with the possibility of an extra weapon on the bench: it is not the case to risk Leao if he does not give guarantees from a physical point of view, but in the game in progress he can become a factor (even if, historically, he has never particularly affected when he has taken over). There is still time, in any case, to see how the situation will evolve.
