GdS: Probable XIs for Milan vs. Barcelona – Rossoneri to face two ex-players

AC Milan are gearing up for their final friendly of their USA tour and they should field a strong starting line-up against Barcelona, a report claims.

According to this morning’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Milan should field a back four of Alessandro Florenzi, Malick Thiaw, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez ahead of Mike Maignan, with Davide Calabria not risked.

The same midfield trio should take the field as the one that played against Juventus with Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders either side of Rade Krunic.

The front three should remain the same too with Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao on the right and left wings respectively and Olivier Giroud the centre-forward.

Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Florenzi, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Loftus-Cheek, Krunic, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.

Probable Barcelona XI (4-2-3-1): Pena; Dest, Kounda, Eric, Marcos; Sergi Roberto, Kessie; Raphinha, Fermin, Ansu Fati; Ferran Torres.
