AC Milan continue their Serie A campaign when they travel to face Lecce on Friday evening.
The Rossoneri are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to newly-promoted Cremonese in their season opener and desperately need three points to kickstart their campaign under Massimiliano Allegri.
Rafael Leao remains a major doubt after picking up a calf injury during Milan’s 2-0 Coppa Italia victory over Bari. Christian Pulisic is available and will be crucial to Milan’s attacking threat after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during pre-season. He completed the full 90 minutes in the season opener.
Luka Modric is also expected to start for Milan. The 39-year-old Croatian maestro made his Serie A debut against Cremonese and brings experience to Allegri’s midfield alongside new signings Ardon Jashiri and Samuele Ricci.
Pervis Estupinan provided the assist for Milan’s only goal, but was subbed off at halftime. The Ecuadorian will undergo a fitness test ahead of the clash.
AC Milan predicted XI: Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Modric, Fofana, Estupinan; Pulisic, Gimenez.
AC Milan take on Lecce at the Stadio Ettore Giardiniero – Via del Mare on Friday, August 30th 2025. Kick-off in Lecce at 7:45pm BST.
The Lecce vs AC Milan match will be broadcast live in the UK on DAZN, which currently holds exclusive Serie A rights for the 2025/26 season.
