AC Milan boss Stefano Pioli is expected to stick with a three-man defence for Friday’s game against Torino but he has some selection doubts, a report claims.
On Friday evening the Rossoneri will challenge Torino – who have already beaten them twice this season – needing a win to rediscover some form and confidence in view of Tuesday evening, when they will host Tottenham in the first leg of the round of 16 of the Champions League.
For the match against the Granata, Tuttosport (via MilanNews) report that Pioli should keep the three-man defence that he used against Inter in the derby defeat on Sunday, but with Malick Thiaw likely to come in for Matteo Gabbia alongside Pierre Kalulu and Simon Kjaer.
At right wing-back there is a battle between Davide Calabria and Alexis Saelemaekers, then in the midfield Tommaso Pobega and Brahim Diaz are vying for a starting spot in Junior Messias’ place.
In attack, Olivier Giroud should team up with Rafael Leao in the front two, meaning Divock Origi would drop to the bench.
