GdS: No big rotation against Udinese – Pioli to rely on trusted trio

There will be no mass rotation on Saturday night when AC Milan take on Udinese at San Siro despite the Paris Saint-Germain match coming just three days later, a report claims.

According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), there were some suggestions that the team could be changed a fair bit to face winless Udinese at the weekend, given the magnitude of the PSG game that follows.

The match against the Ligue 1 champions is decisive in the Rossoneri’s European path and has effectively become a must-win after the team picked up just two points from the first three group stage games.

However, on Saturday against Udinese Pioli will limit the rotation as much as possible. In the middle of the pitch, for example, Rade Krunic will be confirmed in the role of No.6.

In attack, both Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao will start as the centre-forward and the left winger respectively, while waiting to see how Christian Pulisic and others are.
