Ranieri has chosen to bring 4 goalkeepers to Milan due to the condition of Ryan who has not trained for a couple of days due to a tendon issue.
There will be a new face on the bench at San Siro tomorrow in the match between Milan and Roma. It’s Giorgio De Marzi, who has been called up to the first team for the first time by Claudio Ranieri due to Ryan’s conditions. The second-string Australian goalkeeper has not been training for several days due to a tendon issue, as a result, the Yellow-Reds manager decided to take no chances and brought along four goalkeepers to Milan. Indeed, it’s better to be safe than sorry. He holds Italian citizenship and was raised in San Cesareo, near Rome. He signed his first contract as a professional this very summer, committing himself to the yellow-red club until 2027. “It is a pleasure to finally say that I have signed my first professional contract, and to have done so with the company where I grew up,” he said on the day of signing, expressing all his pride for the milestone achieved. Falsini strongly wanted him in Primavera, making him take the “double jump” from Under 17 – where he won two championships – “without passing through the Under 18 category.” He responded with a great start to the season (3 clean sheets in 6 appearances), taking turns with Marin. De Rossi had already taken notice of him, even bringing him along with the team for the training camp in England that started in early August. Tomorrow, he will observe his teammates from the sidelines, but it is already a significant stride in his career.
