For today's match against Lecce, Stefano Pioli made a surprising change: Ruben, Loftus-Cheek will not be in the starting lineup at Via del Mare stadium.
The former Chelsea player will be on the bench for this Serie A fixture.
He will be replaced by the AC Milan Primavera graduate Tommaso Pobega, who, after starting in the games against Newcastle and Borussia Dortmund, is also playing his first match from the beginning in the league.
According to Milan News, Stefano Pioli decided to give Pobega a chance and bench Loftus-Cheek because the latter made a big effort against Paris Saint-Germain and he decided to give him some rest to recover.
