Gazzetta: Moreira-Pulisic, AC Milan’s creative duo eye European breakthrough

It is not because of Saelemaekers’ injury, nor because of the need to manage the squad’s resources: Diego Moreira has earned his place on merit and intends to hold on to it throughout this run of closely spaced fixtures.

That was evident against Sassuolo, when he was among the few players to receive a positive assessment in the owner’s ratings: either as a left-footed attacking midfielder alongside Pulisic, supporting the centre-forward, or as a wing-back covering the entire flank, with defensive tracking-back duties.
