Massimiliano Allegri is expected to make three changes to the starting XI against Fiorentina, following the swift recovery of Alexis Saelemaekers.
As a result of the international break, Milan have lost some key players to injuries. Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot have been ruled out for a month, while Pervis Estupinan and Christopher Nkunku have been ruled out for tomorrow’s game.
In short, Allegri has been forced to rethink his tactics for Sunday’s game against Fiorentina. At the very least, Alexis Saelemaekers has made a swift recovery from the injury he sustained with Belgium, meaning he will be available tomorrow.
Three changes expected
According to MilanNews, the winger is even expected to play from the first minute, meaning Zachary Athekame won’t get the chance from start after all. Samuele Ricci, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leao will thus be the only changes from the Juventus clash.
Predicted Milan XI (3-5-1-1): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Loftus-Cheek; Leao.
A lot of responsibility will fall on Leao to lead the attack, but since he has struggled to find form in the last few weeks, he’s a big question mark. Santiago Gimenez will be on the bench and could perhaps be brought on during the game, but he hasn’t exactly impressed massively either.
