According to what is being reported by Sky (as seen below), the only player who should keep his spot in the line-up is Mike Maignan. In front of him should be a defence of Alessandro Florenzi, Malick Thiaw, Pierre Kalulu and Fode Ballo-Toure.
In midfield the double pivot is expected to be Aster Vranckx and Tommaso Pobega, with Charles De Ketelaere ahead of them as the central attacking midfielder.
Alexis Saelemaekers is down as the right winger, with Ante Rebic on the opposite flank and an opportunity for Divock Origi to lead the line. It is a heavy rotation in view of Tuesday’s return leg against Napoli, with Pioli clearly hoping to keep his key men fresh.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Florenzi, Kalulu, Thiaw, Ballo-Toure; Vranckx, Pobega; Saelemaekers, De Ketelaere, Rebic; Origi.
