Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri must cope with a selection crisis in attack for an away game against Francesco Camarda’s Lecce, with Rafael Leao injured and Christian Pulisic not fully fit.
Lecce-Milan kicks off tonight at 20:45 CET (19:45 BST) at the Stadio Via del Mare.

Milan loanee Camarda is in contention with new signing Nikola Štulić for a starting spot in the Lecce XI, while Milan are short of options up front.
Rafael Leao is still dealing with a muscle injury, while Pulisic has an ankle issue that will likely prevent him from starting tonight.

According to Gazzetta, in fact, Alexis Saelemaekers will be deployed as a support striker tonight, joining Santiago Gimenez.
This also means that Yunus Musah is set to start as a right wing-back, while Luka Modric will be selected again in the middle of the park alongside Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
