The AC Milan head coach, Stefano Pioli, will have to make a defensive substitute for the Saturday night derby game against Inter.
After the break, Pioli will have the entire squad report to Milanello the following day to begin prepping for the match against Inter at San Siro, which will begin at 18:00 CEST.
In addition to the long-term ailment Ismael Bennacer is recovering from, the Rossoneri coach will be without two central defenders: the suspended Fikayo Tomori and the injured Pierre Kalulu.
As a result, Mike Maignan’s front-row players will be Malick Thiaw and Simon Kjaer, with Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez serving as the full-backs.
The rest of the squad should stay the same with Rade Krunic at the heart of a three-man midfield consisting of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Tijjani Reijnders, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud, and Rafael Leao are the predicted attacking trio. Giroud will recover from an ankle injury.
Maignan, Calabria, Thiaw, Kjaer, Theo Hernandez, Loftus-Cheek, Krunic, Reijnders, Pulisic, Giroud, and Leao are the anticipated starters for Milan (4-2-3-1) in that order.
Players who sit on the bench include Sportiello, Mirante, Florenzi, Pellegrino, Simic, Adli, Pobega, Zeroli, Musah, Chukwueze, Okafor, Luka Romero, Jovic, and Chaka Traore.
