Theo Hernandez and Olivier Giroud will miss out on tonight’s action due to suspension and that means Fode Ballo-Toure and Divock Origi are replacing the duo. The latter perhaps would have started anyway, in need of a goal to boost his confidence.
Sandro Tonali is back from start and will be looking to build on his great appearance off the bench against Spezia. Rafael Leao is getting some rest, with Ante Rebic starting on the left flank for this game.
The big surprise is that Malick Thiaw gets the chance from start, having come off the bench late in the game against Spezia. This also gives Pierre Kalulu some rest.
Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Tătărușanu; Thiaw, Kjær, Tomori, Ballo-Touré; Bennacer, Tonali; Messias, Díaz, Rebić; Origi.
Bench: Jungdal, Mirante; Gabbia, Kalulu; Adli, Bakayoko, Krunić, Pobega, Vranckx; De Ketelaere, Lazetić, Leão.
