Stefano Pioli has decided to make a total of five changes to the starting XI from the game against Borussia Dortmund. Luka Jovic starts up front and will be looking to help the Rossoneri clinch all three points against Genoa.
The rotation was indeed expected as Milan played Dortmund just three days ago, and both of these games are away from home as well. Alessandro Florenzi has replaced Davide Calabria on the right-hand side, but the rest of the defence is the same.
Yaciune Adli is back from start and this also means Tijjani Reijnders starts to the left in the midfield, Up front, it’s an unprecedented attacking trio with Samuel Chukwueze, Luka Jovic and Noah Okafor. The Serbian is even making his first start for the club.
Official Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Florenzi, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo; Musah, Adli, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Jovic, Okafor.
Bench: Sportiello, Mirante, Calabria, Giroud, Leao, Pulisic, Romero, Pellegrino, Pobega, Bartesaghi.
Official Genoa XI (4-4-1-1): Martinez; De Winter, Dragusin, Bani, Vasquez; Sabelli, Thorsby, Frendrup, Haps; Malinovskyi; Gudmundsson.
Bench: Leali, Sommariva; Hefti, Martín, Matturro, Vogliacco; Galdames, Jagiełło, Kutlu; Ekuban, Fini, Pușcaș
