AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli seems to have decided on virtually the entirety of his starting XI ahead of the Supercoppa against Inter tomorrow.
A report from MilanNews confirms that Maignan, Ibrahimovic, Florenzi, Krunic and Ballo-Touré will all miss the game through injury, but Pioli does have Kjaer and Rebic again. If the Croatian will certainly start from the bench, the Danish centre-back instead has an excellent chance of starting from the first minute alongside Fikayo Tomori.
Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez seem certain of their place as the full-backs ahead of Ciprian Tatarusanu, while Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer are also lock-ins for the midfield double pivot.
Olivier Giroud will lead the attack, a striker with a particular feeling for the derby, and behind him the trident should consist of Rafael Leao – who scored a brace last time against Inter – Brahim Diaz, and Alexis Saelemaekers.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Tatarusanu; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Tonali; Saelemaekers, Brahim Diaz, Leao; Giroud.
Bench: Mirante, Vasquez, Kalulu, Thiaw, Gabbia, Dest,
Pobega, Bakayoko, Adli, Messias, De Ketelaere, Lazetic, Origi, Rebic.
