AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has almost pieced together his starting XI ahead of Sunday’s trip to face Juventus, a report claims.
According to the latest from Sky Italia (via MilanNews), there are two selection doubts for Pioli in view of the crucial game against the Bianconeri at the Allianz Stadium. They concern the left wing and left centre-back position, and at the moment Rafael Leao and Fikayo Tomori are ahead of Ante Rebic and Alessio Romagnoli respectively to start from the first minute.

In terms of the other selections, Gianluigi Donnarumma will be in goal with Davide Calabria, Simon Kjaer and Theo Hernandez in the back four. Ismael Bennacer and Franck Kessie should once again be the double pivot with Alexis Saelemaekers, Hakan Calhanoglu and Leao in the attacking trident behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Kessie; Saelemaekers, Calhanoglu, Leao; Ibrahimovic.
i prefer tomori partnership with romagnoli. we need leadership at the back. donna are not dependable as captain due to his contract issue
His partnership with Romangoli is ok, but Romangoli lack pace that’s his problem.
Please someone tell me why he continues to waste precious minutes with Leao? His pace could be dangerous if he could pass or shoot. All he has shown is the ability to slip at important moments! He alone has cost us a top 4 finish. Rebic is a proven scorer. If we cannot score again then Pioli should be called to the carpet.
