In the last two fridnlis, Pioli has relied on the same starting XI and it’s clear that he already has a pretty good idea of what it could look like in the opener against Bologna. Against Monza, he’s set to continue on the same path.
According to MilanNews, the only battle is between Alessandro Florenzi and Pierre Kalulu for the right-back spot. Should Pioli opt for the Frenchman, then he would make one change compared to the game against Barcelona.
Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Kalulu/Florenzi, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo; Loftus-Cheek, Krunic, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
Pioli will also have Samuel Chukwueze, Yunus Musah and Noah Okafor at his disposal for the game. The latter was also in the US with the team but he hadn’t trained with the group up until today’s afternoon session at Milanello.
