The return of Rafael Leao does not just give AC Milan their best forward back, but it will also benefit Christian Pulisic too.

Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports this morning how Pulisic has played on the left as a replacement for the injured Leao in recent week, but now the Portuguese is ready to return to the starting line-up tomorrow evening against Newcastle the attack will change.
The American will once again be used on the right flank of the Milan attack as he was for the majority of the first part of the season, and it is also the position from which he scored four of his five goals since arriving.
Olivier Giroud will obviously complete the front three, which is probably Pioli’s first choice at the moment (even if Samuel Chukwueze did well against Dortmund in the last Champions League game) and the one with the most chemistry.
There are almost obligatory choices in the other two departments, especially in defence where the emergency continues with Kjaer, Kalulu, Thiaw and Pellegrino out. Calabria, Tomori, Theo Hernandez and Florenzi will be the defence.
In the middle of the pitch, Bennacer will be absent given that he is not on the UEFA squad list, so the usual trio of Loftus-Cheek, Musah and Reijnders should be confirmed.
