AC Milan suffered a 2-1 defeat against Fiorentina in their latest Serie A match, despite the return of Alvaro Morata to the starting lineup. The game, played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, saw Fiorentina take the lead and maintain it until the final whistle.
AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca opted for consistency in his starting XI, with the only change being the inclusion of Alvaro Morata, who partnered Tammy Abraham up front. The team was, however, without several key players due to injuries and suspensions. Ismael Bennacer, Marco Sportiello, and Alessandro Florenzi are out for the long term, while Davide Calabria, Luka Jovic, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek were also absent due to minor issues. Davide Bartesaghi was serving a one-match suspension.
The match saw AC Milan’s Mike Maignan in goal, with a back four of Emerson Royal, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori, and Theo Hernandez. Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders anchored the midfield, while Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao played on the wings. Despite their efforts, AC Milan could not overturn the deficit and lost the game 2-1.
