—————-
18.55 – All the last 12 AC Milan goals in Serie A were scored from open play; the last time the Rossoneri recorded a longer run of goals in the competition without scoring a single one from dead ball was between October 2022 and January 2023 (14).
18.00 – This evening could be a good opportunity to Tammy Abraham to change the tradition that sees him go blank in the challenges at the Grifone. Paulo Fonseca, after the injury suffered by Álvaro Morata and with Luka Jovié also out, will almost certainly start the Rossoneri number 90 from the start Tammy, after his debut with the Devil’s shirt on 31 August last in Lazio-Milan 2-2 , between the championship, Italian Cup and Champions League, he scored 5 goals and provided 4 assists in the 736 minutes played of his 15 appearances.
17.00 – This evening we will need a reaction of pride and dignity from all the Rossoneri players. There will certainly be no lack of public support. In fact they are expected around 70 thousand spectators at San Siro.
16.30 – Milan kept a clean sheet in five of their first seven home matches this season; the last time the Rossoneri recorded more clean sheets after the first eight home games played in a Serie A season was in 2002/03 (seven on that occasion).
4.00pm – Towards Milan-Genoa: Milan have remained unbeaten in 12 of the last 13 league matches against Genoa (W9, D3); the rossoblù’s only success in the set was a 2-1 on 8 March 2020, with goals from Goran Pandev and Francesco Cassata (Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the Rossoneri).
15.20 – Theo Hernandez he will start from the bench this evening against Genoa. It is not yet official but it is very likely that coach Paulo Fonseca will exclude the French full-back who is offering subpar performances from a technical point of view and in terms of attitude, so much so that he is indicated as one of the very likely recipients of the post-Red Star outburst of the Portuguese coach. Therefore, by technical choice, today Theo, on the day in which the club celebrates its 125th anniversary, will sit on the bench. In the Gazzetta dello Sport the journalist Luigi Garlando spoke about the situation.
Luigi Garlando’s thoughts on Theo Hernandez: “Theo Hernandez, left back, captain, could leave Milan in January. Due to his character, Theo needs solid points of reference and constant encouragement. The most credible interlocutor, Maldini, and the most reliable technical reference, Pioli, have been lost. , the angel of Marseille immediately had the perception that the paradise around him was breaking down and so it was, from the mutiny of the cooling break to the probable benching today against Genoa, it was a continuous fall for the Frenchman he accelerated with the troubles off the field, more or less submerged.”
14.50 – After the finalization, Genoa coach Patrick Vieira and his staff released the list of 25 players available for the match against Milan. The former Rossoneri player Messias is missing.
Goalkeepers: Pierluigi Gollini, Nicola Leali, Daniele Sommariva
Defenders: Johan Vasquez, Alan Matturro, Mattia Bani, Alessandro Vogliacco, Alessandro Marcandalli, Aaron Martin, Alessandro Zanoli, Brooke Norton, Cuffy, Stefano Sabelli
Midfielders: Emil Bohinen, Milan Badelj, Morten Frendrup, Fabio Miretti, Filippo Melegoni, Patrizio Masini, Gaston Pereiro
Attackers: Federico Accornero, Andrea Pinamonti, Vitinha, David Ankeye, Mario Balotelli.
14.30 – On the occasion of the match against Genoa, we read on the official AC Milan website, which will fall the day before the exact date of its 125th Anniversary, the Club is pleased to announce the program of celebrations planned for the magical evening. The evening will kick off at 7.45pm, with the special awards ceremony for the Rossoneri Legends who have joined the AC Milan Hall of Fame presented by Emirates. Elected by the Rossoneri fans with a dedicated vote, Marco van Basten, Filippo Inzaghi and Andriy Shevchenko will join the Honorary Vice President Franco Baresi – first official member of the Hall of Fame – in the section dedicated to the players who contributed most significantly to the history of the Rossoneri.
On the San Siro lawn, Baresi, van Basten and Inzaghi will receive the special trophy created for the occasion by Tiffany & Co., marking an absolute first in the history of Italian football. It will be a moment of deep emotion and memories for all the Milan fans, who will rally around their champions in a night dedicated to celebrations and passion for the Rossoneri history. Shevchenko, absent for personal reasons, will be celebrated soon with a moment dedicated to him.
14.10 – Looking at the match lists of Milan Primavera and Milan Futuro with the consequent absences, these are, therefore, the “young players” that Mister Fonseca has called up for this evening’s match against Genoa: Camarda (2008), Liberali (2007), Jimenez (2005), Vos (2005) and Bartesaghi (2005).
13.40 – Fonseca has to deal with an unpleasant injury emergency: Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Jovic will be out as well as the long-term patients Florenzi and Bennacer. Added to these is also Yunus Musah’s last-second forfeit. Strong choices from the Portuguese coach, who launches the very young Liberals and Jimenez as starters.
13.20 – Today Milan-Genoa is being played, a match which falls on the occasion of the club’s celebration of its 125 years of history, in an atmosphere that is anything but serene. After Wednesday’s Champions League match against Red Star, Fonseca was unequivocal about some elements of the team who, in his opinion, lacked commitment and dedication: this explains the exclusion of Theo Hernandez.
13.00 – Between today and tomorrow, Milan is preparing to celebrate its 125 years of history. For the San Siro match against Genoa, a real party is in fact planned, complete with the presence of some of the most important Legends loved by the Rossoneri fans, among whom, however, will be missing Paolo Maldini.
In addition to the historic captain, another noble figure could also be missing. In fact, according to what has been learned by the editorial staff of MilanNews.itat the moment there would be no signs of the owner’s arrival Gerry Cardinal between today and Monday for the 125th anniversary of Milan, of which he is the owner.
