Milan are on seven summer signings so far: Marco Sportiello, Luka Romero, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, Tijjani Reijnders, Noah Okafor and most recently Samuel Chukwueze.
This morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport has outlined how Stefano Pioli would probably line Milan up if the Bologna game were now, starting with the defence of Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez ahead of Mike Maignan.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders – both of whom arrived during the summer window – should be the two mezzala players either side of Rade Krunic.
Samuel Chukwueze would likely start on the right wing with Rafael Leao on the opposite flank and Olivier Giroud as the centre-forward.
Today’s Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Krunic, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Giroud, Leao.
