AC Milan and Lecce are both making last-minute preparations for their Coppa Italia clash tomorrow night, and multiple changes are possible for both.

This evening, news is filtering through for both teams, some of it official, and some of it based on reports and predictions. So, it is best to start with the visitors before looking at the possible lineup for Milan.

As MilanNews relays, Lecce have released their squad list for the clash, and there will be a change in the front line. Riccardo Sottil, who spent the second half of last season on loan at San Siro, will not be present and has not been included in the squad list.

However, Francesco Camarda’s name is on the squad sheet. He hopes to create an impact at the stadium closest to his heart.
