Sky: Predicted XIs for Milan vs. Salernitana – Pioli to name his final line-up | OneFootball

Stefano Pioli will name an AC Milan starting line-up for the final time tomorrow night as the 2023-24 season comes to a close against Salernitana.

It will be a night of farewells at San Siro. Olivier Giroud and Simon Kjaer will leave when their contracts expire meaning they will get a great send-off, while Pioli’s exit was also confirmed on Friday.

The two bits of injury news for Milan are that Mike Maignan will be unavailable due to a dislocated finger, while Samuel Chukwueze will also miss out as he continues to recover from a muscle issue.

According to the latest from Sky (as seen below), Pioli is expected to name Marco Sportiello in goal with Davide Calabria, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Theo Hernandez as the back four from right to left.

The Milan boss is also likely to keep the midfield three with Tijjani Reijnders flanked by Yunus Musah to his right and Ismael Bennacer to his left.

Then, the attacking trident is expected to be Christian Pulisic on the right wing, Rafael Leao on the opposite flank and Olivier Giroud as the striker, meaning he will start his last game for the club.

Predicted Milan XI (4-3-3): Sportiello; Calabria, Tomori, Gabbia, Theo Hernandez; Musah, Reijnders, Bennacer; Pulisic, Giroud, Leao.

Predicted Salernitana XI (3-4-2-1): Fiorillo; Pierozzi, Gyomber, Pellegrino; Sambia, Coulibaly, Maggiore, Zanoli; Tchaouna, Candreva; Simy.
