GdS: Probable XIs for Milan vs. Frosinone – Pioli settles on emergency defence

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan take on Frosinone at San Siro tonight in desperate need of three points to try and turn a corner after what has been a very difficult period.

According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below), there will be changes in each department compared to the Borussia Dortmund game and most are forced due to injury or suspension.

Mike Maignan will be in goal with Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez the full-backs, while Jan-Carlo Simic should get his first ever Serie A start alongside Fikayo Tomori by virtue of the fact there are no other fit central defenders in the senior squad.

In midfield, Yunus Musah should return after being suspended in the UCL game in midweek, with Tijjani Reijnders tipped to play in the middle of a three that Ruben Loftus-Cheek completes.

Up front, Olivier Giroud will serve the second game of his two-game league ban so Luka Jovic will be the centre-forward with Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze either side.

Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Simic, Tomori, Hernandez; Musah, Reijnders, Loftus-Cheek; Chukwueze, Jovic, Pulisic.

Probable Frosinone XI (4-2-3-1): Turati; Monterisi, Okoli, Romagnoli, Oyono; Garritano, Barrenchechea; Soule, Reiner, Ibrahimovic; Cheddira.

  1. We have two problems we are facing now is the formation and another thing is the players we need Romero to spark our attacking midfield

    1. Reijnders needs a rest, otherwise we will have another injury on our hands, same goes for Theo and calabria

      Mike
      Florenzi, simic, tomori, bartesaghi
      RLC, musah, Pobega
      Chuk,Camarda,Pulisic

      1. “The Bayern lad, right? He will cook Calabria”

        Oh right. So that Ibrahimovic is even better than Kvaradona & Mbappe who have been inside Calabria’s pockets. Yeah. I’ll bet you are 10000% right. 😀 😀 😀

  2. To me I suggest that Acmilan should sack Pioli because I don’t see Pioli getting it right in Acmilan is time is up but I urged the management to sack Pioli because he doesn’t have a resound tactics Acmilan is not even competitive in Europe as a whole and yet we are retaining Pioli Acmilan should be ashame that they can’t even stand against team that are solid Pioli should sit down and watch other teams like Manchester city, Bayern Munich, arsenal,remaldrid you will know that Pioli as a coach your not competent at all to restore Acmilan to their Glory you don’t have a good approach of coaching you don’t know how to select players to score like 5 goals in a match you it wasn’t like this last season this season your just wrong

  3. Why Reindjers as the regista??? He does not play well there at all. Play Adli and move reindjers as a mezzala or sit him and give him some much needed rest. The useless Jovic again lol. Geez

    1. I want to see Pioli to play Sheva or Inzaghi when Giroud is still banned and Okafor injured. But hey, the useless Jovic is all Pioli have right now for CF.

      1. I’d rather play a false 9 than play Jovic lol. I thought Okafor was back – my bad. I certainly wouldn’t play Theo as CB. Rather move Calabria there and drop Florenzi on his place. Calabria offers nothing offensively but can defend. We need Theo’s offense on the Leff esp a Leao still out and Theo isn’t the best defender to begin with. Fkn Pioli lol
