AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is expected to field Ante Rebic as a right winger during tomorrow’s game against Dinamo Zagreb, a report claims.
MilanNews have published an update on the expected line-up for the game following today’s final training session ahead of the team’s flight to Croatia, starting with a defence that should be composed of Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia and Theo Hernandez.

Sandro Tonali should pair up with Ismael Bennacer in the midfield double pivot with Rafael Leao returning on the left wing and Olivier Giroud the centre-forward.
There are two positions up for grabs with a battle between Ante Rebic and Junior Messias for the right wing (the Croatian is favourite to start from the first minute at the moment) while Rade Krunic is currently expected to get the nod over Charles De Ketelaere as the playmaker.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Kjaer, Gabbia, Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Bennacer; Rebic, Krunic, Leao; Giroud.
Put in cdk and origi at 45th minute if were tied or losing
I like the idea of Rebic playing as a RWF he should add Origi and play a 4-3-3 ,that’s Leao – Origi – Rebic with Benneccer – CDK – Tonali behind them
Mohammed CDK is not a box to box midfielder… do u ever watch a Milan game?
Is Krunic even a football player? He doesn’t belong in Milan any more. He has done one good half this season.
Ronny? Mohammed speaks about 3 players for the midfield where one of them is CDK. He doesn’t specify the exact positions but it is clear enough that with such composition CDK will play as an AM. Noone said CDK is a box to box. Do you ever use your brain?
My only fear is the defence.simon and gabbia are slow against a fast forward like orsic and petkovic.
