With just over 24 hours until the Euroderby between AC Milan and Inter in the Champions League, Stefano Pioli appears to have made his selection choices for two different situation.
According to the latest from MilanNews, the main doubt that Pioli has is regarding Rafael Leao. The Portuguese winger will have an audition at Milanello tomorrow morning to understand whether or not he will be available. In case he doesn’t make it or in case he is preferred on the bench, Alexis Saelemaekers will play on the left.

The rest of the side seems to have already been locked in with Mike Maignan in goal, Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez the full-backs and a centre-back pairing of Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori.
Sandro Tonali and Rade Krunic are down as the double pivot with Ismael Bennacer slightly ahead forming the midfield trio, with Brahim Diaz on the right and Olivier Giroud completing the attack.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Krunic; Brahim Diaz, Bennacer, Saelemaekers; Giroud.
Bench: Mirante, Thiaw, Kalulu, Gabbia, Ballo-Touré, Pobega, Messias, De Ketelaere, Rebic, Origi.
Suspended: None.
Unavailable: Rafael Leao (?), Alessandro Florenzi.
One yellow from suspension: None.
Kalalu instead of Calabria
Why kalulu ? Davide marked everyone out of the game against Napoli and spurs he’s got the experience in this particular game
Milan fans with big problem always.
😏 now the problem is Kalulu replacing Calabria that is in a good form.
Next it will be Fode instead of Theo and Tatarusanu instead of Maignan.
You will never satisfy this fans.
Kalulu will come on in the 2nd half as a sub for Calabria. He will not start. Come on man.
I would prefer Messias to any other player on the right wing
At least we can get a penalty through him😼
🤣🤣
I agree – bench Diaz
Plz leao ricover plz god help us and then we win
