At 1:30 PM Italian time tomorrow, AC Milan will take the field for their second official pre-season test, this time against Liverpool. Even against Arne Slot's Reds — the reigning champions of England and fresh off a star-studded transfer window — the Rossoneri manager will once again have to cope with the absence of the injured Alex Jimenez, as well as the vacationing Luka Modric and Santiago Gimenez. Additionally, there are market-related issues: Pervis Estupiñán only joined the training camp yesterday, and Lorenzo Colombo is on the verge of leaving for Genoa.
On the positive side, Mike Maignan and Youssouf Fofana have recovered and are available.
While waiting for further reinforcements from the market, the only new signing expected to start is Samuele Ricci. Due to necessity, the 3-5-1-1 formation will be confirmed, with Rafael Leão playing as the central striker supported by Christian Pulisic.
MILAN (3-5-1-1)
Maignan; Tomori, Thiaw; Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Loftus-Cheek, Ricci, Fofana, Bartesaghi; Pulisic; Rafa Leão.
