AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli has been able to name almost a complete first choice starting XI for this evening’s game against Parma.
Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal protected by a back four of Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez from right to left. Davide Calabria and Alessio Romagnoli will miss out through injury.
Ismael Bennacer and Franck Kessie will be the midfield double pivot, and the centre-forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be supported by an attacking trident featuring Alexis Saelemaekers on the right wing, Ante Rebic on the left and Hakan Calhanoglu as the playmaker.
Parma’s predicted line-up sees D’Aversa use a 4-3-3 system with Man, Pelle and Gervinho as the front three. Former Rossoneri duo Juraj Kucka and Andrea Conti are present.
