Milan receive Walker boost in time for Lazio | OneFootball

Kyle Walker is expected to return to the Milan squad in time for Sunday’s Serie A test against Lazio in San Siro, as the Rossoneri look to cut the gap between themselves and the European places in the league table.

The England international has been out of action for the last two Serie A matches with a hamstring issue. Sergio Conceicao’s side have struggled to consecutive 2-1 defeats against Torino and Bologna in his absence.

Multiple outlets including Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.com report that he will be back in time to face Lazio in San Siro on Sunday evening, and could be thrown straight back in as a starter at right-back.

Conceicao is expected to make a handful of alterations to his Rossoneri side for the test against Lazio, including the reintroduction of Christian Pulisic, who is expected to start over January recruit Joao Felix.

A victory for Milan on Sunday evening will put them within three points of fifth place, five points of fourth place (albeit temporarily), and 14 points off the top of the table.

(4-2-3-1): Maignan; Walker, Thiaw, Pavlovic, T.Hernandez; Musah, Fofana; Pulisic, Reijnders, Leao; Gimenez.
