AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is not expected to make any changes to the team that lost to Chelsea in midweek for Sunday’s trip to face Hellas Verona.
Hellas Verona appointed former Milan defender Salvatore Bocchetti as their new head coach yesterday after a bad run of results landed them inside the bottom three, and while their team might therefore be a bit harder to predict it seems the Rossoneri’s is a bit more straightforward.
La Gazzetta dello Sport (as seen below) believe Ciprian Tatarusanu will be in goal to cover for the injured Mike Maignan who should return against Monza, while Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori will be the centre-backs with Pierre Kalulu and Theo Hernandez the full-backs.
The midfield should consist of the usual double pivot of Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali, with Rade Krunic listed as being the right winger. Brahim Diaz is tipped to be the playmaker with Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud completing the attack.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo; Tonali, Bennacer; Diaz, Krunic, Leao; Giroud
Probable Verona XI (3-4-2-1): Montipò; Hien, Gunter, Cabal; Pharaohs, Tameze, Veloso, Doig; Hrustic, Verdi; Henry.
