Official: AC Milan vs. Fiorentina starting XIs – Musah starts; new attack

AC Milan will face Fiorentina this evening and Stefano Pioli has named his starting XI for the crucial clash. Compared to the draw against Lecce, he has made three changes and two of them are in attack. 

After four games without a win in the league, collecting just two points, Milan desperately need all three points tonight. It will not be an easy task against Fiorentina, though, and especially not considering the many absences.

Olivier Giroud, Rafael Leao and Noah Okafor are all unavailable, meaning Luka Jovic will be the starting striker tonight. Furthermore, the 15-year-old Francesco Camarda will be the only striker on the bench, which says a lot about the situation.

Compared to the Lecce clash, Pioli has made three changes with Yunus Musah, Christian Pulisic and Jovic replacing Rade Krunic, Leao and Giroud.

Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez; Musah, Reijnders, Pobega; Chukwueze, Jovic, Pulisic.

Bench: Mirante, Nava, Florenzi, Simic, Bartesaghi, Adli, Krunic, Loftus-Cheek, Romero, Camarda, Chaka Traore.

Official Fiorentina XI (4-2-3-1): Terracciano; Parisi, Quarta, Milenkovic, Biraghi; Arthur, Duncan; Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Sottil; Beltran.

Bench: Martinelli, Christensen, Maxime Lopez, Ikone, Nzola, Infantino, Mina, Comuzzo, Mandragora, Pierozzi, Barak, Amatucci, Brekalo, Kouame.
