Tuttosport: Old formation and midfield doubt – how Milan should line up vs. Lecce

By Oliver Fisher -

AC Milan will travel to Lecce this afternoon for tomorrow’s game against Lecce, and Stefano Pioli is pondering some changes to the side that will take to the field.

Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) writes that it will be understood today whether Simon Kjær and Christian Pulisic – who carried out individual training yesterday – will take part in the game against the Giallorossi.

The central defensive department has been reduced to the bare bones after the injuries to Pierre Kalulu and Marco Pellegrino, but Jan-Carlo Simic will be available again after missing the Champions League match due to being ineligible.

Pioli has a line-up in mind and it will see Samuel Chukwueze deployed as a starter on the right wing in what will be a return to the 4-2-3-1 system from the previous three seasons.

In the middle of the field there is a battle between Rade Krunić (favourite) and Yunus Musah to partner Tijjani Reijnders, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek playing further ahead like he did against PSG.

Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernández; Krunić, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Loftus-Cheek, Leão; Giroud.

Bench: Mirante, Nava, Bartesaghi, Florenzi, Simić, Adli, Musah, Pobega, Romero, Jović, Okafor.
