GdS: Pioli to field Reijnders in the control room against Dortmund

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli will have to make do with the midfield options he has available for the game against Borussia Dortmund, with Tijjani Reijnders tipped to take up a new role.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via RadioRossonera), Yacine Adli will not start his first Champions League game despite getting the nod in the last two league games, with Reijnders taking his position in front of the back four.

The midfield will be completed by Tommaso Pobega on the left and Yunus Musah on the right. There remains the possibility that Pioli could choose to play Musah in the middle of the three, in which case Pobega would go to the right with Reijnders back to the left.

The attacking trident will remain the same: Christian Pulisic on the right, Olivier Giroud down the centre and Rafael Leao on the left. The back four of Davide Calabria, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez should be deployed.
