Official: Monza vs. AC Milan starting XIs – Messias and Origi get the nod

AC Milan’s clash against Monza will kick off in an hour and Stefano Pioli has named his starting XI. There are a few changes from the game against Tottenham, including Junior Messias and Divock Origi getting the nod. 

Milan will be looking to build on their two wins against Torino and Tottenham, thus with a chance to make it three out of three. Given the tight schedule, Pioli has decided to make a few changes to the starting XI for tonight’s clash.

In defence, Fikayo Tomori is back from his injury and will thus give Simon Kjaer some rest. Junior Messias replaces Alexis Saelemaekers to the right and Divock Origi has been given the chance up front, eager to get on the scoresheet.
