AC Milan will take on Roma tomorrow evening and Stefano Pioli is expected to make some changes to the starting XI, both compared to the Empoli and mid-week clash. Per a report, Theo Hernandez will start as the left-back.
Milan have struggled with many injuries in the last few weeks, forcing Hernandez to play in the centre of defence. Pioli was rather coy when asked about the matter during his press conference today, stating that he will decide tomorrow.
However, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport, Hernandez is set to play in his regular position on the left-hand side. Simon Kjaer and Matteo Gabbia should be the starting centre-backs instead, which makes sense given that the Frenchman is clearly better on the flank.
Yacine Adli will be back in the midfield after starting on the bench last time out, with Yunus Musah forced to concede his spit. Up front, it will be the classic 11-9-0 trio as Luka Jovic failed to impress Pioli in the game against Atalanta.
Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Gabbia, Theo; Loftus-Cheek, Adli, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
The game is scheduled for 20:45 CET and as San Siro is sold out, it should be a great atmosphere underneath the floodlights. A good display will be needed, though, otherwise the mood could quickly turn sour.
