Stefano Pioli will make a couple of changes for AC Milan vs Parma but no turnover as initially expected from the Italian coach.
Coach Stefano Pioli is planning some changes for tonight’s AC Milan vs Parma. In the matches against Lazio, Juventus and Napoli there were few formation changes from the Rossoneri coach and once again the Italian coach is refusing to make a real turnover.
In defense Andrea Conti should make room for Davide Calabria. Conti was evidently exhausted in match against Napoli. In midfield, Pioli’s biggest doubt is whether to start Franck Kessie from the first minute or give a chance to Rade Krunic. Kessie seems in advantage to play from the first minute alongside Bennacer.
The red card of Alexis Saelemaekers and the injury of Castillejo means that the choices are practically obligatory for the front three. Hakan Calhanoglu and Ante Rebic are confirmed alongside Bonaventura with Lucas Paqueta absent for this match.
There some concerns on the fitness of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The Swedish striker hasn’t played the entire 90 minutes since the Serie A restart, nevertheless, he tonight he will play his 100th match with the Red and Black jersey.
AC MILAN (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Romagnoli, Theo Hernandez; Kessie (Krunic), Bennacer; Bonaventura, Calhanoglu, Rebic; Ibrahimovic.
PARMA (4-3-3): Sepe, Laurini, Iacoponi, Alves, Gagliolo, Grassi, Brugman, Kurtic, Kulusevski, Cornelius, Gervinho.
