GdS: Modric back in command – Allegri’s expected choice against Roma

This weekend, it seems AC Milan will return to a few more of the regular faces, with a number of them sat watching from the bench on Sunday.

The win against Lecce last weekend was a big one for several reasons. A 20th unbeaten game in a row takes the headlines, but it is also another big win against a side below them in the table, with Niclas Füllkrug also getting off the mark.

Then, there is the fact that Milan did this without a number of their stars present, as well as fielding a few players who are still not at the ideal level – look at Rafael Leao, and even Füllkrug, to an extent.

Modric back in Milan team

So, this weekend, we should see a few changes to the team, and it will start with Luka Modric, as Gazzetta dello Sport wrote in this morning’s edition (seen below). The Croatian was rested for the full 90 minutes, and he has certainly earned that in recent weeks.

Ardon Jashari performed excellently in his place, so the reliance upon Modric may drop slightly moving forward, especially if the Swiss continues to impress when he plays. However, the veteran can be useful from the bench still.

Against Lecce, Massimiliano Allegri was regularly seen speaking to his Croatian maestro. So, he can still offer a helping hand, even when not on the pitch.
