Fonseca Drops Milan Stars: "It's Best for the Team"
Inside the Decision to Bench Leao and Saelemaekers
Leao and Saelemaekers Drop to Milan Bench in SHOCKING Decision
AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca has addressed the reasoning behind his controversial decision to drop Rafael Leao and Alexis Saelemaekers from the starting lineup for Sunday's Serie A clash with Fiorentina. The move raised eyebrows, as both players have been key figures for Milan this season.
Fonseca explained that the decision was purely tactical, claiming that it was "best for the team" at this particular moment in the season.
Leao, a highly-rated forward, has been struggling for form in recent weeks, scoring just one goal in his last six matches. Saelemaekers, a winger, has also struggled to make an impact, failing to register a goal or assist in his last three appearances.
Fonseca's decision has been met with mixed reactions. Some fans believe that it is the right move, as it will allow other players to step up and prove their worth. Others are concerned that dropping two key players could destabilize the team at a crucial stage in the season.
Milan Face Fiorentina Without Key Duo
Milan will be hoping to maintain their recent good form when they travel to Florence to face Fiorentina on Sunday afternoon. The Rossoneri have won their last three league games and will be looking to make it four in a row against a Fiorentina side that has been in inconsistent form this season.
Fiorentina currently sit 12th in the Serie A standings, having won five, drawn four and lost seven of their 16 league games this season.
The match is set to be played at the Stadio Artemio Franchi in Florence, with kick-off scheduled for 2pm local time.
