The wheel keeps spinning. We're bleeding players to injury, but this squad is showing lion heart nonetheless.
Unavailable for this fixture:
Ibrahimovic
Calabria(?)
Kjaer(?)
Bakayoko
Messias
Giroud(?)
Krunic(?)
We're facing Spezia on Saturday and Atletico midweek next week. Several players should be considered rested for this match, primarily Diaz because there's no backup. Theo looked exhausted and unfocused yesterday, as did Kessie. Time to let young players/available subs shine.
My desired lineup:
Mike
Kalulu - Tomori - Romagnoli - Ballo
Tonali - Bennacer
Saele - Maldini - Leao
Rebic
Focus should be on securing a result in the first half and then rotate players for the second half. The crux here is to balance the resting of players against the best strategy for securing an early win. That might be fielding the strongest possible XI. Get minutes for as much of the squad as possible and then regroup for Spezia(where some players should also be considered rested - though some of the injured players should be back).
Post concrete updates on expected recoveries as they come in.
