Sky: Probable Milan XI to face Chelsea – unprecedented right flank to be fielded | OneFootball

AC Milan are expected to field a much-changed starting line-up for the game against Chelsea compared to what would be considered as first choice.

The injury bug has infected Milan as Mike Maignan, Davide Calabria, Alessandro Florenzi, Simon Kjaer, Theo Hernandez, Alexis Saelemaekers and Junior Messias are all out, plus Zlatan Ibrahimovic, while Ante Rebic and Divock Origi have only recently returned.

According to what is being reported by Sky (via MilanEye), Pioli is expected to field Ciprian Tatarusanu in goal with a back four of Sergino Dest, Pierre Kalulu, Fikayo Tomori and Fode Ballo-Toure ahead.

Sandro Tonali and Ismael Bennacer are tipped to be in the double pivot, with the attack consisting of Rade Krunic wide on the right, Rafael Leao on the left and Charles De Ketelaere as the playmaker behind Olivier Giroud.

Probable Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Tatarusanu; Dest, Kalulu, Tomori, Ballo-Toure; Tonali, Bennacer; Krunic, De Ketelaere, Leao; Giroud.
