New problems for Conceicao ahead of the last two games: emergency triggers for Milan, the latest from Milanello
Tripla assenza per il Milan (ANSA) – MilanLive.it
On Wednesday came yet another major disappointment this season. Milan lost the Coppa Italia final against Bologna, deservedly so. Vincenzo Italiano’s team, although inferior from a technical point of view, was superior in all other aspects. A success, that of the Rossoblu, which definitively sanctions the total failure of Giorgio Furlani’s sporting management and ownership: the responsibilities lie primarily with the CEO, who never fails to emphasize that every important decision goes through him before being finalized. Lower down is also Sergio Conceicao, who missed all the targets.
Milan with him was never in the running for fourth place, was eliminated by Dinamo Zagreb and Feyenoord (with Fonseca there were prospects of direct qualification to the round of 16) and also lost the Coppa Italia. His first experience after so many years outside Portugal was a disaster. By not winning the Coppa Italia, Milan also lost direct qualification for the Europa League. That is still attainable in the league, although difficult. The first thing to do is to win with Roma tomorrow, but Milan is in a serious emergency.
Roma-Milan, quattro assenze per Conceicao
According to reports from Sky Sport, Milan will not have three players available for the trip to the Olimpico (there where the Rossoneri lost the Coppa Italia a few days ago): Chukwueze, who entered a few minutes from the end against Bologna, is struggling with pubic inflammation while Warren Bondo still has ankle problems, the same ones that have not allowed him to be available in recent weeks. His purchase has proved to be a serious flop: he has spent more time off than on the field.

These two have been joined by a third: Kyle Walker, another who, after an excellent start, has also been swallowed up by the Rossoneri black hole, will not be available for the match against Roma. The English full-back has a fever and this will not allow him to be on the field at the Olimpico (in the Coppa Italia final he entered in the second after in place of a very bad Tomori). Also Theo Hernandez seems to have been added to these in the last hours: due to a contusion suffered on Wednesday, the Frenchman will not be available for this away match. It’s raining cats and dogs in the Rossoneri’s house, then.
