AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has only been able to name a 19-man squad for the first leg of the tie against Manchester United.
Milan make the trip in good spirits having emerged 2-0 victors over Hellas Verona at the weekend, which cemented their second-placed spot in the Serie A table. They will face a United side who are also confident having won the Manchester derby 2-0 at the weekend, but one that are in a bit of chaos with selection issues due to injuries themselves.
The Rossoneri go into the Europa League last-16 game battling yet another injury crisis though, and there will be no Theo Hernandez, Ismael Bennacer, Hakan Calhanoglu, Ante Rebic, Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Mario Mandzukic available for the game.
Below are the 19 players that Pioli has called up for the trip to England, as confirmed by the club’s official website.
Goalkeepers: A. Donnarumma, G. Donnarumma, Tătărușanu.
Defenders: Calabria, Dalot, Gabbia, Kalulu, Kjær, Romagnoli, Tomori.
Midfielders: Castillejo, Díaz, Kessie, Krunić, Meïte, Saelemaekers, Tonali.
Forwards: Leão, Tonin.
Where the f is hauge? Stupid idiot Pioli… It is now clear that the poor boy has unfair treatment.
Why tonin? Why not robak? Why not maldini?
Mediocre coach – mediocre milan. I fear of embarrasement with man united mach
If I was Pioli, would go with the following formation and players
LeAO
Calabria Diaz Saelemaekers
Tonali Kessie
Meite
Tomori Romagnoli Kjaer
Donna
Leao is very good but inconsistent
Pioli can add Tonin but couldn’t include Hauge then. Milan will loose home and away. Even plus Ibra. Forza Milan
Milan treba postavit mlade snage za utakmicu pa nek se kale !! Malo je vjerojatno da če proč dalje preko Manchestera u dva ogleda !! Prvenstvo je prioritet kao i oporavak svih ozljeda u klubu !! Napolija treba dobit za vikend i sačuvat barem drugu poziciju na tablici !!!
