GdS: Camarda likely to be on bench vs. Parma – who will replace Morata | OneFootball

After the news that Alvaro Morata will not be present for AC Milan’s game against Parma, questions have arisen about who will replace him, and the conversation involves a certain 16-year-old star.

When Joshua Zirkzee went to Manchester United, Milan were quick to move on and brought Morata to the club after triggering his release clause. Of course, going from a striker of Zirkzee’s profile to the Spaniard was questioned, but there is, reportedly, some thinking behind the change.

It all comes down to Francesco Camarda, and this is why the following pursuits have been of an ‘older’ bracket, allowing the young striker a clear path into the first team, when the time is right. However, there have been consistent reports stating he could be this season’s ‘third striker’.

The suggestions are that Camarda will feature for the senior side when ready, and when the opportunity is presented, and this would mean a striker department of Morata, Luka Jovic and the starlet.

This weekend will be the first time that we could see the feasibility of this idea, given Morata will miss the clash – and likely others – so Camarda could be involved in some aspect, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (via Milan News).

However, they state that ‘you can’t expect Fonseca to bet on Camarda straight away’, so Noah Okafor could be the option used. Nevertheless, Camarda is ‘likely’ to be on the squad list for the fixture.
