Gustavo Gomez shines for Paraguary but remains AC Milan’s 4th choice centre-back
The 23-year-old centre back joined AC Milan last summer but has been struggling with game time as Vincenzo Montella has been opting for the duo Romangoli-Paletta to play over him.
Gomez shined against the likes of Higuain, Aguero and Dybala earlier this week and hopes to recover lost ground once he returns to Milanello.
His efforts, however, might evanish as Cristian Zapata is close to returning in action after a lengthy lay off. The Colombian defender is Montella’s first choice to partner Romagnoli in the heart of the rossoneri defence, even if Gabriel Paletta has been delivering some convincing performances in the first games of the season.
Gustavo Gomez will have to fight and work hard to become a regular starter at AC Milan, but with performances like those against Argentina, the promising centre-back can only see his chances growing.
