Stefano Pioli has made three changes to the starting XI for AC Milan’s clash against Sampdoria tonight, compared to last time out. Due to injuries, Olivier Giroud will make his fifth consecutive start.
Divock Origi was supposed to start this game, being the fourth change to the XI, but he suffered from muscle fatigue yesterday. He was thus left out of the squad and Giroud is forced to make his fifth consecutive start.
Simon Kjaer, Tommaso Pobega and Junior Messias are the three changes and given the tight schedule, rotation is absolutely needed for the Rossoneri. It remains to be seen if any of them can impress on the pitch tonight.
Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Kalulu, Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Pobega; Messias, De Ketelaere, Leao; Giroud.
Bench: Mirante, Tătărușanu; Ballo-Touré, Dest, Gabbia, Thiaw, Tomori; Adli, Bakayoko, Bennacer, Díaz, Saelemaekers, Vranckx.
