AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has made three changes to the starting line-up that beat Lazio on Saturday for tonight’s game against Borussia Dortmund.
There is an alteration in defence where Malick Thiaw comes back into the team at Simon Kjaer’s expense, joining Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez in forming the back four in front of Mike Maignan.
The other two changes are in midfield where Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rade Krunic’s injury leave the department a bit thin on the ground. Yunus Musah and Tommaso Pobega come in for Yacine Adli and Loftus-Cheek, with Tijjani Reijnders keeping his spot.
The attacking trio remains as it was in the Lazio game with Christian Pulisic the right winger, Rafael Leao on the opposite flank and Olivier Giroud up front.
Official Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Musah, Reijnders, Pobega; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.
Bench: Sportiello; Mirante, Adli, Jovic, Okafor, Chukwueze, Kjaer, Florenzi, Bartesaghi.
Official Dortmund XI (4-2-3-1): Kobel; Ryerson, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini; Ozcan, Emre Can; Malen, Reus, Brandt; Fullkrug.
Bench: Meyer, Lotka, Reyna, Nmecha, Haller, Wolf, Moukoko, Sule, Adeyemi, Bynoe-Gittens.
