Official: Parma vs. AC Milan starting XIs – one change from Roma win

AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri has picked his starting line-up for the game against Parma at the Stadio Tardini.

While waiting for the results of Napoli, Roma and Inter – who all play on Sunday – Milan have the chance to reclaim top spot in the table. However, it promises to be a tough game against a Parma side scrapping to stay out of the bottom three, with the Cremonese and Pisa games reminders of this.

The treatment room has almost emptied for Milan after spending the last few games in crisis. Christian Pulisic returned to full training during the week and is in the squad, so Adrien Rabiot and Santiago Gimenez are the only absences.

Allegri has named an unchanged three-man defence compared to the Roma game, with Koni De Winter keeping his spot as Fikayo Tomori isn’t yet fit enough to start. Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic complete the trio ahead of Mike Maignan.

Alexis Saelemaekers is at right wing-back and the big news is that Pervis Estupinan returns on the other side. They flank Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci who are the midfield trio.

Christopher Nkunku and Rafael Leao are the attacking duo, with Pulisic and potentially Ruben Loftus-Cheek able to come on during the game.

Official Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Estupinan; Nkunku, Leao.
