Coach Stefano Pioli's AC Milan are looking to redeem themselves after the draw against Atalanta and prove that they deserve to be in the Champions League by beating none other than the strong Gasperini side Atalanta.
It is a decisive game, perhaps the most important one in almost a decade for the club. Ibrahimovic is obviously not going to be on the pitch since he is injured and Ante Rebic may not be there as well because of his calf problem.
AS Tuttosport points out, the coaching staff of the Rossoneri will depend on Rafael Leao's speed and the skills of Brahim Diaz who will alternate positions with Hakan Calhanoglu on the field. Stefano Pioli wants to surprise and confuse Atalanta by not providing any fixed reference points.
In case of need for muscle power upfront, striker Mario Mandzukic will be ready to step in to help his teammates.
