The decision to rotate the squad in Europe will also be confirmed in today's match against Ferencvaros, the Hungarian side who are on maximum points (just like Milan's other three opponents, Benfica, Bournemouth and Olympiacos) after three matchdays of the League Phase.
Amorim will once again rest Modric, Gila and Pulisic, while also giving Pavlovic a rest (yesterday, he did not even train as part of the management of his physical condition). Maignan will also have the day off, as he is suspended. In his place, 2005-born Torriani will make his first start of the season.
All this is also because, less than 70 hours after the final whistle of today's match, the Rossoneri will be in action at Marassi against Genoa for another delicate league fixture, in which they will look to confirm the good things they showed in the derby.
In defence, alongside De Winter, Filippo Terracciano (Tomori and Gabbia are injured) and Diawara will start, with Bartesaghi ahead of Estupinan on the left. In midfield, Musah and Jashari will play alongside Rabiot, who will occupy a hybrid position between midfield and the attacking midfield line.
Hutchinson and Cisse return on the wings. Gonçalo Ramos will lead the attack, with Camarda once again starting on the bench.
Meanwhile, yesterday, Chukwueze underwent surgery in London to repair the rupture of the tendon of the tensor fasciae latae muscle in his left hip. The operation, performed by Professor Ernest Schilders in the presence of Dr Stefano Mazzoni, was a complete success. The Nigerian will be out for approximately three months, as relayed via Corriere dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
