Official: AC Milan vs. Slavia Praha starting XIs – one change from Lazio win | OneFootball

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has made one change to his starting line-up for the game against Slavia Praha compared to the team that beat Lazio.

Pioli has decided to name a back four of Alessandro Florenzi, Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia and Theo Hernandez in front of the goalkeeper Mike Maignan, with Davide Calabria staying out given Florenzi will be banned for Sunday’s game.

Tijjani Reijnders comes into the midfield to partner Yacine Adli with Ismael Bennacer dropping to the bench, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek the more attacking of the trio. Loftus-Cheek will be flanked by Christian Pulisic to his right and Rafael Leao to his left, and Olivier Giroud leads the line.

Tommaso Pobega is the only absentee for the Rossoneri, which means the likes of Fikayo Tomori, Thiaw, Calabria, Yunus Musah, Bennacer, Noah Okafor, Samuel Chukwueze and Noah Okafor are ready to come off the bench.

Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Florenzi, Kjaer, Gabbia, Theo; Reijnders, Adli; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud.

Bench: Sportiello, Mirante, Calabria, Bennacer, Jovic, Okafor, Kalulu, Chukwueze, Tomori, Thiaw, Terracciano, Musah.
