MN: Allegri considering change to centre-back department for Pisa game

Massimiliano Allegri is considering making a change to the defensive department for Friday’s game against Pisa, a report claims.

Milan are on a roll at the moment having reclaimed top spot with their fifth league win in their last six games, so the temptation must be there to stick with a formula that is working, especially given the much-improved defensive record.

However, ahead of tomorrow night’s match against Pisa at San Siro, MilanNews report that Allegri is considering some changes to the line-up that started a few days ago against Fiorentina.

In defence, for example, Koni De Winter could get a chance to start in place of Fikayo Tomori, who has been the player most used by the coach so far. It’s worth remembering that, after Friday’s match against Pisa, the Rossoneri will play Tuesday in Bergamo against Atalanta.

A matter of minutes?

The top five players in terms of minutes used include the three starting central defenders. Tomori leads the way with 775 minutes, followed by Strahinja Pavlovic with 732 minutes and Matteo Gabbia in third with 720 minutes.

Milan have conceded four goals in total, which means they have the second-best defence in the league at present. However, some rotation could be in order tomorrow to keep legs and minds fresh.
