Probable Milan XI to face Marseille – Adli and Saelemaekers from start

AC Milan will take on Marseille at Stade Velodrome tomorrow in their penultimate pre-season friendly. Earlier this evening, updates arrived with regards to the Rossoneri’s probable starting XI.

Stefano Pioli’s men managed to beat Wolfsberger by a convincing 5-0 last time out and will be looking for another win tomorrow. As said, it’s their penultimate game of the pre-season and thus some players will be eager to prove themselves.

As reported by our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Pioli will field a rather strong starting XI tomorrow as it’s close to what we could see in the opener against Udinese next month. Olivier Giroud should be back from the first minute.

Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Kalulu, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Tonali; Saelemaekers, Adli, Leao; Giroud.

It’s worth keeping an extra eye on Yacine Adli, who has impressed a lot this pre-season, but also Alexis Saelemaekers. The Belgian needs to prove himself ahead of the season opener as Junior Messias is lurking, and tomorrow’s game could be decisive in that sense.
