Sky Italia reports that Milan coach Vincenzo Montella is ready to make some changes in the defense against Empoli. 

According to the Italian news site, Montella is considering starting Antonelli against Empoli at left-back, meaning either Abate or De Sciglio will be benched. Should Abate be benched, then De Sciglio is set to start at right-back instead.
