Amorim trusts Cisse: key role against Bournemouth

Milan travel to Bournemouth in the Europa League. The match will be played at the Vitality Stadium at 20:00 UK time. Head coach Ruben Amorim reminded that the team has recovered recently and won three of its last four official matches. In this period, a 4-1 win away at Salzburg lifted the team's morale.

Amorim said that due to injuries in the squad and a busy fixture schedule, changes to the starting eleven are unavoidable. Within this framework, he announced that Alphadjo Cisse will take to the pitch as a striker. According to the head coach, the young player's qualities match what is required for this encounter.

Amorim spoke positively about Cisse. He stressed that the player is still very young, has a lot of room to develop, and turned 20 today. He also said that Bournemouth's centre-backs will struggle to cope with him.

It was reported that Goncalo Ramos's calf injury is not serious, while Samuel Chukwueze, Alexis Saelemaekers and Matteo Gabbia will be out for a long time. Meanwhile, it remains a question whether Francesco Camarda, also in the squad, will be picked as a striker in this match.
