Zapata or Gomez: who is going to replace Romagnoli in the Milan derby?
Zapata has recovered from an injury and has already returned to training scoring a goal against AC Milan Primavera team last week. The Colombian centre-back, however, has yet to play his first game this season and deplying him from the first minute could be a major risk that Montella may not want to take in such an important game.
Gomez, on the other hand, travelled to South America last week to play with Paraguay national team against Perù and Bolivia. The former Lanus defender was pretty unlucky in the last game against Bolivia as he scored an own goal which cost his side the game. Gomez has struggled to have an impact in Serie A so far this season but has managed to collect seven appearances with the diavoli. His physical conditions, however, will be monitored by AC Milan medical staff as the player will only return to Italy tomorrow due to some issues which caused his return flight to Italy being late.
Alessio Romangoli is set to skip the Milan derby and Montella has yet to take a decision about who will partner Gabriel Paletta in the heart of the rossoneri defence: will it be Zapata or Gomez?
