Stefano Pioli has decided to make five changes to the starting XI for AC Milan’s clash against Juventus this evening. Some of the changes are forced due to a couple of key absences.
Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez are suspended and will thus miss out on tonight’s action. As if that wasn’t enough, Marco Sportiello is also injured and that means Antonio Mirante is the starting goalkeeper.
Alessandro Florenzi, meanwhile, replaces Hernandez on the left and will be looking to use his experience to help Milan tonight. Up front, Pioli has reverted to the usual attacking trio with Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud and Rafael Leao.
As for Juventus, Federico Chiesa and Dusan Vlahovic are both on the bench after recently recovering from injury.
Official Milan XI (4-3-3): Mirante; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Florenzi; Musah, Adli, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
Bench: Bartoccioni, Nava; Jiménez, Kalulu, Kjær, Pellegrino; Krunić, Pobega, Romero; Jović, Okafor, Traorè.
Official Juventus XI (3-5-2): Szczesny; Gatti, Bremer, Rugani; Weah, McKennie, Locatelli, Rabiot, Kostic; Milik, Kean.
Bench: Perin, Pinsoglio; Cambiaso, Huijsen; Iling-Junior, Miretti, Nicolussi Caviglia, Nonge; Chiesa, Vlahović, Yildiz.
