GdS: Predicted XIs for Torino vs. Milan – Pulisic, Felix, Leao and Gimenez all to start | OneFootball

AC Milan are back in league action this evening against Torino away from home, and they are looking to right the wrongs after Tuesday’s Champions League exit.

Milan’s aggregate defeat to Feyenoord has left just one major mission to try and salvage the season which is to get into the top four, and they cannot afford to drop many more points if they are to achieve that aim.

Sergio Conceicao said in his pre-match press conference that every game must be treated like a final from now until the end of the season, and a tricky test against Torino awaits given they have lost just once in 2025.

The predicted starting XIs

Milan will be without Emerson Royal, Alessandro Florenzi, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Jovic and Kyle Walker for the game, with all of them out due to injury.

La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) predicts a back four of Alex Jimenez, Malick Thiaw, Strahinja Pavlovic and Theo Hernandez in front of the goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

Youssouf Fofana should get some more rest meaning Yunus Musah and Tijjani Reijnders occupy the double pivot. Christian Pulisic, Joao Felix and Rafael Leao should operate behind Santiago Gimenez, meaning the ‘Fantastic Four’ will be fielded again.

Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Jimenez, Tomori, Pavlovic, Theo; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Felix, Leao; Gimenez.

Predicted Torino XI (4-2-3-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Walukiewicz, Maripan, Coco, Biraghi; Ricci, Casadei; Lazaro Vlasic, Karamoh; Adams.
