Amorim prepares surprise against SL Benfica

Portuguese manager Rubén Amorim is contemplating an attacking adjustment to his Milan lineup for the upcoming match against SL Benfica, scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, in the first round of the UEFA Europa League, according to Italian journalist Daniele Longo.

Longo has clarified that Amorim is considering starting American Omari Hutchinson from the first minute, alongside fellow American Christian Pulisic, in a move that could provide AC Milan with more speed and vitality in the attacking third.

This option comes after Amorim's statements confirming that Hutchinson is ready to participate. The Portuguese coach also highlighted the importance of having multiple options for the team and not relying on a fixed starting lineup throughout the season, especially with a congested match schedule.

Amorim is expected to make his final decision in the hours leading up to the clash with SL Benfica, while AC Milan seeks a strong start in the UEFA Europa League after an exciting 2-2 draw against SS Lazio in their last Serie A match.
