Champions League: Slovan Bratislava vs Milan – Probable line-ups and where to watch | OneFootball

USMNT star Christian Pulisic should return to Milan’s starting XI in his side’s visit away to Slovan Bratislava in the Champions League on Tuesday.

It kicks off at 18:45 CET (17:45 CET) at the Stadium Tehelné pole in Bratislava.

After a series of consecutive starts, coach Paulo Fonseca could drop Rafael Leao again, as he admitted it is a ‘possibility’ that the Portuguese ‘won’t play’, with Noah Okafor looking favoured to get the nod as a left winger.

Tammy Abraham will replace the suspended Alvaro Morata up front, while Davide Calabria could start his first game since September as a right-back at the expense of Emerson Royal.

The Rossoneri bounced back from their initial two defeats by winning consecutive games against Club Brugge and Real Madrid, but need to extend their winning streak to close in on the top eight, which would ensure them a spot into the round-of-16 without going through the play-offs.
