AC Milan have decided not to risk any of their stars at the weekend against Udinese, with the clash against Paris Saint-Germain up after that. Therefore, the starting XI in the first game will be a makeshift one.
The many injuries have not made life easy for Stefano Pioli, who was forced to bring off two centre-backs in the 2-2 draw against Napoli. Against Udinese, the head coach will not risk any of his stars amid the upcoming UCL clash.
According to Tuttosport (see photo below), Simon Kjaer should be back for the game and it remains to be seen if he or Malick Thiaw team up with Fikayo Tomori in the heart of the defence. In midfield, Yacine Adli is battling with Rade Krunic and Tijjani Reijnders could also get some rest.
In attack, Luka Romero is set to replace Christian Pulisic, who should be back for the game against PSG. Olivier Giroud is not injured but could be rested, making way for Luka Jovic who needs to step up in the No.9 role. Rafael Leao is sure of his spot to the left.
Probable Milan XI (4-3-3): Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer/Thiaw, Tomori, Hernandez (Florenzi); Musah, Adli/Krunic, Reijnders (Pobega), Romero, Giroud/Jovic, Leao.
