MN: Probable XIs for Milan vs. Monza – Pioli to ring the changes

Stefano Pioli is set to make a number of major changes to the AC Milan starting eleven for the match against Monza on Saturday, a report claims.

As has been reported by Milan News this morning, the Lombard derby is set to see Pioli put a lot of faith in players that have not seen as much game time this season.

Milan are far superior to Monza and given the game is at San Siro, the coach clearly feels that he can do without Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao to begin with as they are set to make way for Divock Origi and Ante Rebic in attack.

Brahim Diaz and Junior Messias are set to start in the attacking quartet too. It was assumed that Ismael Bennacer would start with Tommaso Pobega in the midfield but the former has a fever. Sandro Tonali will join Pobega instead.

Sergino Dest is set to start instead of Pierre Kalulu at right back.
