MN: How Milan could line-up against Juventus – midfield duo return

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan face their next big test of the season straight after the international break as they welcome Juventus to San Siro for Sunday night’s game.

According to MilanNews, the good news for Stefano Pioli is that the international break passed without incident meaning there are no new injuries, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Rade Krunic and Pierre Kalulu are all expected to recover.

With that in mind, Pioli could deploy the following line-up against Juventus: Sportiello in goal (Maignan is suspended), Calabria on the right and Florenzi on the left (Theo is suspended) with Thiaw and Tomori centre-backs.

Then Krunic would be at the base of the midfield three with Loftus-Cheek and Reijnders either side as the box-to-box players. The attacking trident would feature Pulisic on the right, Leao on the opposite flank and Giroud down the middle.

For more concrete signs on what the team is expected to be we will have to wait for all players to be back in training, which is likely to be tomorrow.

  1. Krunic is the start piont of loosing
    When he plays at the beginning we gona loose
    Stupidity on Pioli
    Wait to see

    1. Honestly bro sometimes I wonder why Pioli is blind from seeing what the fans are seeing .I was thinking Krunic will be out for the entire season.

    2. Except for the derbies we won all matches with Krunic – including 2-0 win against Bologna in their stadium. And that remain Bologna sole defeat this season, and they have played against Napoli, Juventus and Inter.

      I dont favor Krunic as starting quality and I think we absolutely can get better player than him, but don’t spout some bs. He is fine as squad player.

      Pls support every players that put on Milan shirt.

      1. Exactly. Support everyone. I want to see Adli do well too but I also want Krunic and even…dare I say….. Pobega 🤦‍♂️. I’ll trash Pobega but if he’s on the pitch I’m supporting the dude like any other

  2. Brilliant pulisic / Giroud / leao .
    Complete confidence in these three ,thus we will win the match ..Loftus cheek ,back ,that’s a huge bonus.
    We are going to win the scuddeto..
    If that’s not brilliant news ,What is .

  3. I may not be a Krunic fan, but, would love to see him back against Juventus. We need a solid middle, so that Reijnders and Loftus-Cheek can roam. Not too comfortable with Musah. He moves forward well, but, loses the ball a lot of times in the midfield. Adli is good, but, still “work in progress”.

  4. Honestly, krunic is our midfield martial none like him. Pls stop criticising our jewel……
    By God grace he will score the match winner!!!

    1. Krunic need to be out of our team.. we play better without him.. fast football and good pass.. with him on the field he always pass 20 time to the keeper..

  5. I think that hacienda adli 10 times better then krunic pioli just want krunic to start bc he’s a fan of him we should just have sold him for 12.5 million we doesn’t even see krunic so much in the game
