Official: AC Milan vs. Pisa starting XIs – two changes from Fiorentina win

Massimiliano Allegri has named his starting team for the Pisa game, and AC Milan are still missing a few key players. 

Since the international break, there has not been a lot of good news for Milan to contend with. So, they are still in the process of putting together a team, whilst also dealing with the heap of injuries at the club.

Adrien Rabiot, Christian Pulisic, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Pervis Estupinan still remain in the stands, alongside summer signing Ardon Jashari. In other words, Allegri’s team is almost being picked for him still.

However, the Italian can still fall back on the regular names, or at least most of them. Mike Maignan will remain in goal, whilst Strahinja Pavlovic and Matteo Gabbia keep their places in the back line. However, Koni De Winter returns to the starting XI to face one of his former managers.

Ahead of them, Alexis Saelemaekers returns to the right, and he will be joined on the opposing flank by Davide Bartesaghi. In the middle, Luka Modric will be supported by Samuele Ricci and Youssouf Fofana, an unchanged trio.

Rafael Leao remains in a central role up top, and with Christopher Nkunku coming back into the squad, Santiago Gimenez is given the license to start here.
