According to Sky, AC Milan head coach Sergio Conceição will make some rotations for tomorrow's match against Empoli at 18:00, in view of the upcoming Champions League clash against Feyenoord (Wednesday at 21:00 in the Netherlands). In defense, the two center-backs will be changed, with Gabbia and Thiaw replacing Tomori and Pavlovic. On the flanks, Walker will be confirmed on the right and Theo Hernandez on the left. In midfield, Reijnders will be rested, making way for Fofana and Musah from the start, with the latter set to be suspended for the Champions League match.
In Conceição’s 4-4-2 system, Sottil will play as the right winger (making his first start for Milan since joining from Fiorentina), while Pulisic will be on the left. Leao is expected to start on the bench again, as he is not in top condition due to a minor ankle issue. The forward duo will consist of Joao Felix, who will make his first start for the Rossoneri, and Abraham, who is ahead of Gimenez in the pecking order.
Here is the probable AC Milan lineup against Empoli:
(4-4-2) Maignan; Walker, Gabbia, Thiaw, Theo Hernandez; Sottil, Fofana, Musah, Pulisic; Joao Felix, Abraham.
