AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has made a number of changes to the starting line-up for the game against Monza compared to the side that beat Stade Rennais in midweek.
The unavailable players for Milan are as follows: Davide Calabria is out with a muscle problem, Pierre Kalulu and Fikayo Tomori continue to recover from their respective issues while Tommaso Pobega will be out for some time yet.
