According to Sky Sport Italia, French goalkeepeer Mike Maignan and left-back Theo Hernandez will not be called up for tomorrow's Coppa Italia clash against Sassuolo.
The goalkeeper has undergone a minor dental surgery, while the full-back will be sidelined as a precaution after taking a knock in the last match against Empoli.
Against the Neroverdi, Paulo Fonseca will rotate his squad slightly: the defense will be completely changed compared to Saturday, with Calabria, Tomori, Pavlovic, and Terracciano forming the backline. Sportiello will start in goal.
In midfield, the AC Milan Portuguese coach does not appear willing to rest the "usual" Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders, even tomorrow.
Up front, Pulisic will be given a rest and replaced by Loftus-Cheek. On the right, Chukwueze will feature, while on the left, Fonseca faces a dilemma between Leao and Okafor (the latter missed the Empoli match due to illness). The starting striker will be Abraham.
