Tue Oct 22 17:16:50 UTC 2024: AC Milan is set to reinstate winger Rafael Leao and defender Theo Hernandez in the starting lineup for their crucial Champions League match against Club Brugge after both missed the previous Serie A game. Hernandez was suspended, and Leao was benched following a disappointing loss to Fiorentina.
Manager Paulo Fonseca expects both players to contribute significantly to the team’s performance. He announced the lineup ahead of the match, which includes other key players like Mike Maignan and Christian Pulisic.
AC Milan has had a challenging start to their Champions League campaign, losing to Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen, and Fonseca describes the upcoming match as almost a must-win to keep their hopes alive in the competition.
The team is facing a striker shortage with injuries to Tammy Abraham and the absence of Luka Jovic from the squad. As a result, young player Francesco Camarda has been called up, and if he scores, he could become the youngest goal-scorer in Champions League history. Fonseca remains optimistic about the current squad despite these challenges.
