As pointed out by La Gazzetta dello Sport, AC Milan coach, Stefano Pioli, has a 'comeback turbo'. The players highlighted by the newspaper are Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao.
The French left-back has shown how useful he is even as a centre-back. As for Leao responded to the jeers in the last match against Cagliari by scoring a goal, hopefully, that will help him score more goals in the coming matches.
With these two champions rediscovered, AC Milan's head coach Stefano Pioli can turn things around. If they perform well, the entire team does. Tomorrow in Empoli, it's crucial to turn the tide with three additional points, securing their position in the Champions League zone to believe in a climb to higher positions.
Pioli managed both Theo and Leao, working as a true psychologist on their motivations, urging them to raise their level and get back into the game.
As for the potential lineup, it seems that everything is confirmed as previously reported. Theo Hernandez in the center with Simon Kjaer. Davide Calabria and Alessandro Florenzi on the sides. Then, Tijjani Reijnders, Yacine Adli, and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in midfield.
Upfront, there should be Christian Pulisic, Olivier Giroud, and Rafael Leao.
The youngsters who performed well in the Coppa Italia will start from the bench. Matteo Gabbia who returned to Milanello recently from a loan period spent at Villarreal, will also be available on the bench.
