AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli is expected to make a number of changes to the starting line-up that beat Bologna for this evening’s game against Sassuolo.
According to a report from La Gazzetta dello Sport, the right side of the defence will be changed as Alessandro Florenzi and Simon Kjaer are expected to replace Davide Calabria and Pierre Kalulu respectively. Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez complete the back four in front of Mike Maignan.
Tommaso Pobega is expected to replace Sandro Tonali in the midfield with Ismael Bennacer keeping his spot. Alexis Saelemaekers should get the nod ahead of Junior Messias for the right wing, with Brahim Diaz coming back in for Charles De Ketelaere.
Olivier Giroud should lead the line again with Rafael Leao starting on the left flank after his goal against Bologna at the weekend.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Florenzi, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Pobega, Bennacer; Saelemaekers, Brahim Diaz, Rafael Leao, Giroud.
Probable Sassuolo XI (4-3-3): Consigli; Toljan, Erlic, Ferrari, Rogerio; Frattesi, M. Lopez, Thortsvedt; Berardi, Pinamonti, Kyriakopoulos.
