According to what is being reported by MilanNews, Stefano Pioli should line up his troops with Mike Maignan in goal and a four-man defence that features captain Davide Calabria on the right and Theo Hernandez on the left, with Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori in the middle.

In midfield there is the need for changes with Rade Krunic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek out injured. Tijjani Reijnders is expected to play in front of the defence with Yunus Musah to his right and Tomasso Pobega to the left.

The absolute certainty seems to be the front three, where Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao should act as the right and left wingers respectively, with Olivier Giroud the centre-forward.

In the early afternoon the team will leave for Germany. Pioli and Thiaw’s press conference is scheduled for 19:00 CEST.

Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Reijnders, Musah, Pobega; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
