CorSport: Pioli could make five changes to the starting XI for Milan vs. Inter

AC Milan are currently gearing up to face Inter in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final. It’s a very important game for the Rossoneri as not just a ticket to the final is on the line, but also a confidence boost. 

After drawing their last two games, against two bottom-half teams it should be added, Milan are in desperate need of a boost confidence-wise. The derby is the perfect game to bounce back but it could also be an even more damaging defeat.

Seeing as the team isn’t gelling currently, Stefano Piol could make a total of five changes to the starting XI, as per Corriere Dello Sport (via MilanNews). The likes of Alessandro Florenzi, Alexis Saelemaekers, Rade Krunic (instead of Brahim Diaz) and Ante Rebic could all get the chance from start.

In addition, Sandro Tonali is suspended and this means that Franck Kessie will play from the first minute alongside Ismael Bennacer. More updates on the likely XI will arrive tomorrow.
