Some news has emerged regarding the starting line-up that AC Milan are expected to field against Empoli on Saturday night from Sky.
According to what Peppe Di Stefano told Sky (via MilanNews), there will be a number of changes that Pioli will make compared to the defeat against Napoli before the international break, starting with Ciprian Taturusanu in goal to replace the injured Mike Maignan.
In defence, today’s training suggested that Fode Ballo-Tourè will replace Theo Hernandez on the left side while on the opposite flank Davide Calabria will also be a starter, with Fikayo Tomori and of either Pierre Kalulu and Simon Kjaer as centre-back.
In midfield Sandro Tonali should return from the first minute, while Tommaso Pobega is challenging Ismael Bennacer for a starting shirt, because the Algerian has recently returned to Milanello from international duty.
In the attack, Junior Messias is ahead of Alexis Saelemaekers for the right wing spot, on the left Rafael Leao returns after having served the suspension against Napoli, and in support of Olivier Giroud will be Charles De Ketelaere as the playmaker.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Tatarusanu; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori/Kjaer, Ballo-Toure; Tonali, Pobega; Messias, De Ketelaere, Leao; Giroud.
Why not rest tonali and play benacer?
No benacer play all matches for nation bt tonali didn’t
This is a small game why not give dear some time?
This is a small game why not give dest some time?
There is no small game.Every match is 3 points. Making a lot of changes in the lineup isn’t advisable. The best thing to do is to play your best eleven from the start and if you are winning midway through the game you make changes. We all saw what happened when we played Sassuolo after the coach make wholesome changes in the first eleven.
