GdS: Probable Milan XI to face Salernitana – only one doubt for Pioli

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli appears to have just one selection doubt heading into the game against Salernitana tomorrow night, as per a report.

According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan should start the game with Mike Maignan in goal, Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori as the centre-backs plus the returning Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez as the full-backs.

The front three should be Christian Pulisic on the right side, Rafael Leao on the left and Olivier Giroud up front, with Samuel Chukwueze and Luka Jovic ready to lend a hand off the bench.

In midfield, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders seem certain of the two mezzala spots. The doubt is who will play in the No.6 role, with Ismael Bennacer currently the most likely but with Rade Krunic a candidate too, given Yunus Musah’s absence.

Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Bennacer (Krunic), Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
