According to Sky (via Calciomercato.com), Pioli is expected to give Krunic a rest when Fiorentina come to the San Siro, who will then return to the starting line-up on Tuesday in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund.
Against La Viola, the midfield three should be formed of Yunus Musah – who will serve a suspension against Dortmund – plus Tijjani Reijnders and Tommaso Pobega, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek will start from the bench.
What remains to be seen is which of those three players will start as the deeper-lying midfielder in front of the defence, given all are natural box-to-box profiles. What Pioli could do is revert to a double pivot of Musah-Reijnders, with Pobega ahead as an attacking midfielder, like Loftus-Cheek did against PSG.
