AC Milan are set to take on Monza at the U-Power stadium this coming Saturday.
In memory of the late Silvio Berlusconi, who was associated with both clubs, several former Rossoneri figures are now with Monza: Adriano Galliani in management, Daniel Maldini on the field, and Alessandro Nesta on the bench.
Initial insights on Monza - Milan
As reported by Sky Sport’s Manuele Baiocchini, Fonseca is expected to start Rafael Leao from the first minute, following his time on the bench against Udinese and Napoli.
Additionally, Reijnders and Theo Hernandez are set to return. Gabbia will not be available, while Calabria might start in place of Emerson Royal.
Pulisic is also expected to start. Up front, Morata should get the nod again, despite Jovic’s return. Abraham remains doubtful for the game, as relayed via Pianeta Milan.
Alessandro Nesta’s Monza may field the same eleven that lost but performed well against Atalanta. The main question mark is Daniel Maldini: the former Rossoneri player came off the bench against Atalanta but might start against his old team.
Possible lineups for Monza - Milan
Monza's XI: Turati, D'Ambrosio, Pablo Marì, Izzo, Pedro Pereira, Pessina, Bianco, Kyriakopoulos, Mota Carvalho, Maldini, Maric.
The Rossoneri's XI: Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Fofana, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao; Morata.
