Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports that Pioli made the decision to bring some fresh legs into the XI for the 2-0 win over Juventus as Theo Hernandez and Matteo Gabbia came into the back four with Tommaso Pobega and Brahim Diaz also slotting in.

The Rossoneri coach has Junior Messias back for this games but has lost Charles De Ketelaere, who was forced to stop due to a muscle strain. In front of Tatarusanu should be Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori as the centre-backs, with Pierre Kalulu on the right and Theo Hernandez on the left.

Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali will remain as the double pivot, while the only change will be Rade Krunic coming in for Pobega as the third midfielder. Brahim Diaz will be on the right therefore, with Olivier Giroud as centre-forward and Rafael Leao on the left.
