GdS: How Milan should line up against Salernitana – Bennacer back after 7 months

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli seems to have made his final decision regarding the line-up that will take to the field against Salernitana tomorrow night.

According to Luca Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the rearguard in front of Mike Maignan is as expected with Davide Calabria returning at right-back after serving a suspension, Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori the centre-backs and Theo Hernandez at left-back.

As Pioli confirmed in his pre-match press conference, Ismael Bennacer will start at the base of a midfield three and he will be flanked by Ruben Loftus-Cheek on one side and Tijjani Reijnders on the other in what is a 4-3-3 system.

In attack it will be the ‘Pu-Gi-Le’ trio of Christian Pulisic on the right, Olivier Giroud down the middle and Rafael Leao on the left, with Samuel Chukwueze and Luka Jovic available to come off the bench.

Tommaso Pobega and Noah Okafor are the latest to join Marco Sportiello, Marco Pellegrino, Pierre Kalulu, Malick Thiaw, Mattia Caldara and Yunus Musah on the injured list.
