MN: Probable Milan XI to face Salernitana – Bennacer to start on the bench

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is not expected to make many changes for tomorrow night’s game against Salernitana compared to the team that drew with Spurs.

According to the latest from MilanNews, Mike Maignan will be in goal with Pierre Kalulu, Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori in the three-man defence. There is a small possibility that Simon Kjaer starts over the German, but at present it is only minute.

Sandro Tonali and Rade Krunic will be used in midfield again with Ismael Bennacer therefore starting on the bench, while Alexis Saelemaekers and Theo Hernandez will be the wing-backs given Junior Messias is injured.

Olivier Giroud will lead the attack with Brahim Diaz (ahead of Charles De Ketelaere) and Rafael Leao completing the trident of forwards.

Probable Milan XI (3-4-2-1): Maignan; Kalulu, Thiaw, Tomori; Saelemaekers, Tonali, Krunic, Theo Hernandez; Brahim Diaz, Leao; Giroud.

Bench: Tatarusanu, Mirante, Vasquez, Kjaer, Gabbia, Ballo-Touré, Dest, Bakayoko, Pobega, Vranckx, De Ketelaere, Adli, Rebic, Origi, Ibrahimovic.

Doubts: Thiaw-Kjaer 70%-30%; Krunic-Bennacer 70-30%; Brahim Diaz-De Ketelaere 70%-30%.
