AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is pondering his selection choices ahead of Sunday night’s game against Juventus, with some team news now emerging.
According to what is being reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Mike Maignan will be the goalkeeper for the Rossoneri with Alessandro Florenzi keeping his spot at right-back as Davide Calabria has spent a few months out and is not quite at 100%. Pierre Kalulu retains his place at centre-back with Alessio Romagnoli returning after Covid, and Theo Hernandez on the left.
Sandro Tonali is back from suspension to take up a place in the double pivot again with Tiemoue Bakayoko expected to get the nod as well over Rade Krunic. The attacking midfielder ahead of them will be Brahim Diaz, with the Bosnian therefore relegated to the bench.
Regarding the attack, Alexis Saelemaekers and the in-form Rafael Leao should occupy the wings and Zlatan Ibrahimovic is the man who the paper think will lead the line over Olivier Giroud.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Florenzi, Kalulu, Romagnoli, Hernandez; Tonali, Bakayoko; Saelemaekers, Diaz, Leao; Ibrahimovic.
Probable Juventus XI (3-5-2): Szczesny; Cuadrado, De Ligt, Chiellini; Pellegrini; Bentancur, Locatelli; McKennie, Dybala, Bernardeschi; Morata.
Sale again 🤦🤦🤦
too bad none of Leao/Rebic can play on right
Bakayoko gets un the way of Juve and our players as well, slow to the ball,backs off rather than attacking, lazy player, when he does have the ball he is indecisive and telegraphs his passes, start Calabria replace that ass-clown Baka with Florenzi……then when Calabria tires then move Florenzi to the back. It is important to start on the front foot with Juve
Pit in bennacer instead of him
I think that Olivier Giroud should lead the line against juventus..I say that as he is now fit ,and his ability to hold the ball up is second to none ..He is a threat all round as he has super strength, heading ability is amazing ,and his shot ratio is very good ,he can score goals with both feet ,and scores some goals from such acute angles ..Yes this man is a huge threat up front .
I believe ibramavic could play just behind him ..
I hope they both start in this game ..
