Compared to last Friday’s match against Pisa, for tomorrow evening’s clash with Como, Massimiliano Allegri regains one of the mainstays of his starting lineup: Alexis Saelemaekers.
Even so, the Belgian is expected to make way for the third consecutive game for Zachary Athekame, coming off an impressive performance in the shadow of the Leaning Tower. While the Rossoneri coach can be pleased by Saelemaekers’ return, he also has to deal with a Christian Pulisic who is not yet at full fitness, as explained by those at Milan News.
For tomorrow’s game against Como, Allegri will make some changes compared to Friday, also due to Adrien Rabiot’s suspension. In goal, as expected, the captain Mike Maignan will lead the defensive line, made up of Tomori, De Winter, and Pavlovic, who is ahead of Gabbia for a starting spot.
The five midfielders are likely to be Athekame, Jashari, Modric, Ricci, and Bartesaghi, supporting Loftus-Cheek, once again confirmed, and Leao, returning to the starting lineup for the first time since the Rome away match. The Portuguese player is competing for a starting spot with Nkunku, while Jashari is expected to win the midfield battle against Fofana, according to Peppe Di Stefano on Sky Sport Italia.
AC Milan's possible lineup vs Como (3-5-2):
Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic; Athekame, Jashari, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Loftus-Cheek, Leao.
