With the injuries to seemingly all of the first choice central defenders at Milan, will Gennaro Gattuso be forced into changing his formations yet again?
Milan worked on the three-man defense formation in today’s training session ahead of the Lazio match, according to Sky
— Milan Eye (@MilanEye) November 21, 2018
Last season under Gattuso, Milan went with a 4-3-3 and didn’t look back, not really changing styles or formations once settling on it.
This season has seen Milan go with a 4-3-3, a 4-4-2, and a 3-5-2, and with Higuain out for the next two games after getting suspended, along with all of the injuries, will Milan go to a 3-4-3 formation with Ricardo Rodriguez line up as a part of a back three?
It’s going to be a mess defensively against Lazio, but then again, when has it not been a mess defensively this season?
