GdS: Probable XIs for Atalanta vs. Milan – one change expected from Udinese win

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is currently thinking of making only one change to the starting line-up for the game against Atalanta compared to the side that beat Udinese.

According to today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the current plan is for the same defence of Davide Calabria, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez to be fielded ahead of Mike Maignan.

With Sandro Tonali now back to full fitness he should slot in the midfield in place of Rade Krunic next to Ismael Bennacer as the only change to the team that beat Udinese.

Junior Messias, Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao should therefore form the attacking trident behind the centre-forward Ante Rebic, fresh from a brace against the Friulians.

Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Theo; Bennacer, Tonali; Messias, Díaz, Leao; Rebic.

Probable Atalanta XI (3-4-1-2): Musso; Toloi, Okoli, Djimsiti; Hateboer, De Roon, Koopmeiners, Maehle; Pasalic; Muriel, Zapata.
