Tammy Abraham is expected to get the nod to start against Udinese tonight, and it is another chance for him to try and convince the AC Milan management.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) write this morning, concept of fate is so strong in Portuguese culture that there is even a musical genre named after it. Paulo Fonseca didn’t like ‘fado’, but who knows if Sergio Conceiçao appreciates its underlying meaning.
When he arrived at Milan on December 30, he would never have expected to be ninth in the table in April. “There were incidents that were out of our control,” the coach complained, commenting on the absence of Kyle Walker, who underwent surgery after fracturing his right elbow.
“Players who get hurt at home [he would later explain how he meant Milanello by the term ‘home’] or who end up in hospital a few hours before the match [Loftus-Cheek in Naples]. Now I can’t say when Walker will return,” Luck isn’t smiling on the Rossoneri.
But would anything have changed if Sergio had arrived earlier? He also responded to that notion too in his pre-match press conference, stating: “I’m not a magician, I couldn’t say.”
