Today’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan) talks about Milan-Lazio and the probable starting line-ups for tomorrow’s match. Pioli’s decision to rotate heavily against Cremonese backfired again, so he should return to fielding a strong XI.
The paper reports that Mike Maignan will be in goal with Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Simon Kjaer and Theo Hernandez as the back four, though Malick Thiaw will compete with the Dane.
The midfield trio of Sandro Tonali, Ismael Bennacer and Rade Krunic will be used again after it was so effective in the games against Napoli in the league and in the Champions League.
In attack there is only one doubt with Junior Messias currently the favourite to start over Brahim Diaz, while Rafael Leao should be on the left wing and Olivier Giroud the centre-forward.
Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan, Calabria, Tomori, Kjaer (Thiaw), Theo Hernandez; Tonali, Krunic; Messias (Brahim Diaz), Bennacer, Leao; Giroud.
