AC Milan did not start their season with a win against Torino as they would have hoped to on Saturday night, but there could be significant changes to the starting line-up from that game.
For various reasons, Paulo Fonseca was not able to name the likes of Theo Hernandez, Tijjani Reijnders and Alvaro Morata in the XI that played from the first minute against the Granata, and in the end all three came off the bench to start the comeback that led to a 2-2 draw.
Youssouf Fofana was also not available for the game having only been announced as a new signing that morning and he could therefore come in, but Morata won’t having picked up an injury. That means Fonseca must pick an option up front to replace him, with various solutions available.
Peppe Di Stefano spoke live on Sky from Milanello this afternoon to give an update on how preparations for Saturday’s game are going, which his comments relayed by Radio Rossonera.
“Pulisic and Leao on the wings behind the only striker who will be Okafor or Jovic. Theo Hernandez will definitely return in defence , Reijnders will definitely be a starter in midfield, but Fofana is also raring to go,” he said.
