Gasperini had an unlucky eve, losing Koopmeiners and Hien to injury. In their place, there's a runoff between Pasalic and Miranchuk, while in defense Kolasinac takes their place. Scamacca seems to be ahead of Muriel in the center forward role, while Lookman è still busy in the African Cup of Nations with Nigeria. On the flanks, Holm is showing great form and could be confirmed in place of Zappacosta. Between the posts, Carnesecchi seems to be favored over Musso, the former goalkeeper.
