MN: Milan’s probable XI to face Inter – Leao likely to get the nod on the left

Stefano Pioli has only one doubt about his starting XI in view of tonight’s derby against Inter, according to a report.

In terms of absentees, Pioli will be without Ante Rebic who has not recovered from his elbow dislocation, while Mateo Musacchio is also continuing his recovery from surgery.

Leo Duarte has Coronavirus and it was confirmed that Matteo Gabbia also tested positive while away with the Italy U21 squad, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shaken it off and is fit to play, as is Alessio Romagnoli after a muscle problem which kept him out of the latter part of last season.

According to MilanNews, the one spot that is up for grabs is on the left, and at the moment the most likely hypothesis is that Leao starts there with Saelemaekers on the right.

Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): G. Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Hernandez; Bennacer, Kessié; Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu, Leao, Ibrahimovic
