AC Milan, Amorim considers a move that will spark debate: Pulisic out against Atalanta, Rabiot in the attacking midfield role

Serie A

AC Milan

Atalanta

An underwhelming display against Sassuolo and half an hour off the bench against Salzburg: Pulisic has lost momentum since his goal against Lecce before the break appeared to give him a lift. Against Atalanta, he looked set to give Ramos the right support, but today Amorim tried a starting line-up without the American international. A significant call at a delicate stage of the season.

Rabiot will push forward alongside Cisse in attacking midfield, the surprise move Amorim is considering. In midfield, Musah and Modric will pair up centrally, with Moreira wide on the left and Chukwueze on the right to provide balance in both phases of play. Those choices would also bring back a three-man defence of Gila, De Winter and Pavlovic, as Peppe Di Stefano pointed out on Sky.
