Matchday 3 of the Champions League group stage sees AC Milan make a trip to Portugal to play against Porto at Estadio do Dragao. Stefano Pioli has been trying to find the best possible formations and according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, it seems that he is leaning towards making a few changes compared to the previous game against Hellas Verona.
The newspaper report that Ciprian Tatarusanu will be in the goal, while the defense will be formed, from right to left, by Pierre Kalulu, Simon Kjaer, Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria.
As for the midfield area, Franck Kessié will obviously not be there because he was shown a red card in the last Champions League fixture against Atlético Madrid. Instead, Ismael Bennacer and Sandro Tonali will be playing next to each other.
Then, AC Milan coach will deploy Alexis Saelemaekers on the right wing, Rafael Leao on the left and Rade Krunic is tipped to start as he is in a race with Daniel Maldini. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is not able to play many minutes for now, (as admitted by Stefano Pioli yesterday) and so, Olivier Giroud will be the starter.
