Official: AC Milan vs. Spurs starting XIs – Tomori not even on the bench

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has not made a single change to the starting line-up for the game against Spurs compared to the side that beat Torino on Friday.

Milan will start with Ciprian Tatarusanu in goal protected by a three-man defence formed by Pierre Kalulu, Malick Thiaw and Simon Kjaer, with Fikayo Tomori missing out after failing a late fitness test.

Alexis Saelemaekers will be the right wing-back over captain Davide Calabria with Theo Hernandez on the opposite flank, while Sandro Tonali is accompanied by Rade Krunic in midfield given Ismael Bennacer is still not 100%.

The attacking trident will consist of Brahim Diaz and Rafael Leao playing slightly behind the centre-forward Olivier Giroud in what is down as a 3-4-2-1 system.

Official Milan XI (3-4-2-1): Tatarusanu; Kalulu, Thiaw, Kjaer; Saelemaekers, Krunic, Tonali, Theo Hernandez; Diaz, Leao; Giroud.

Bench: Mirante, Gabbia, Calabria, Ballo-Touré, Pobega, Origi, Rebic, De Ketelaere, Messias.

Official Spurs XI (3-4-2-1): Forster; Romero, Dier, Lenglet; Emerson, Skipp, Sarr, Perisic; Kulusevski, Son; Kane.

Bench: Austin, Whiteman, Sánchez, Richarlison, Danjuma, Pedro Porro, Tanganga, Moura, B. Davies, Devine.
