The rossoneri return to play Europa League football. A perfect opportunity for Milan to convince and secure qualification for next stage.
After the defeat at the San Paolo in the league against Napoli, AC Milan will return on the pitch today at 21:05 CET in Europa League. An important challenge at San Siro to secure qualification for the knockout round.
Vincenzo Montella has already identified the 11 starters who will try to beat Austria Wien. Undisputed, Gianluigi Donnarumma between the posts, while the defense in front of him will change a bit: captain Leonardo Bonucci will lead the back line, at his side will start Cristian Zapata and Mateo Musacchio. Alessio Romagnoli has a fever, so he skipped today’s training and is not considered fit for this next match.
Lucas Biglia
In midfield Lucas Biglia will return to direct the game, alongside Franck Kessie and Hakan Calhanoglu. On the flanks, Fabio Borini and Ricardo Rodriguez while Giacomo Bonaventura will start from the bench.
