AC Milan will be up against Parma tomorrow and after an unusually quiet morning, indications have now arrived on the predicted starting eleven, with a duo potentially getting the chance.
After the draw against Como, Milan have a point to prove (pun intended) as they cannot afford to increase the gap to Inter. Massimiliano Allegri himself highlighted during the presser just how important the game is, not just for the Scudetto but also the Champions League race.
How Milan will line up is thus of particular interest, as the manager also confirmed that all of the players are at his disposal (except for Santiago Gimenez). It seems that two players who haven’t been getting a lot of playing time lately could get the chance.
Estupinan and Pulisic in?
According to Daniele Longo, Pervis Estupinan could replace Davide Bartesaghi on the left flank, giving the youngster some rest. Up front, Allegri has tested both Christopher Nkunku and Christian Pulisic for the role next to Rafael Leao, with the American currently leading the race.
The rest of the team should pretty much pick itself, with Adrien Rabiot back from his suspension, and Alexis Saelemaekers now ready to play from start. Strahinja Pavlovic is available but likely won’t start given the heavy knock he received against Como.
Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, De Winter; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Rabiot, Estupinan; Pulisic, Leao
Finally an attack that has potential
I don’t know that Leao and Puli together have potential without an actual 9 on the field.
More potential than Leao and Nkunku. I’d rather see Puli and Fulkrug.
Half fit Puli is better than fully fit Nkunku.
Estu let’s turn this thing around, hopefully he can avoid the blunders and whip them crossed in in mass
I don’t care who starts…As long as Milan get 3pts.
