With Emerson Royal suspended, Sergio Conceicao may be left with an opportunity to hand out, and it could be given to the captain, Davide Calabria.
Conceicao is making his final preparations ahead of Milan’s clash against Cagliari this weekend, and the Portuguese head coach could be forced to give out an opportunity due to a suspension in the defence.
With a yellow card in the Supercoppa Italiana, he has been given a suspension for the game this weekend meaning the Portuguese has a decision to make, and right now, it is unclear who will be given it.
The obvious and probable choice is Calabria, as Gazzetta dello Sport write. After all, he is the club captain and with his contract set to expire at the end of the season, it gives the coach a good opportunity to assess the defender, and whether he has the qualities to perhaps earn an extension.
Aside from that, the report suggests that Alex Jimenez could be shifted back into defence, perhaps if Leao is able to play a more prominent role at the weekend, and it is stated that the chances of this are likely at present.
There is no mention of Filippo Terracciano though, which is surprising given his role so far this season.
