AC Milan to make 3 key changes for PSG match
AC Milan will host Paris Saint-Germain at San Siro tomorrow in a crucial match for their Champions League fate.
The most important Champions League matches of the season comes during the most difficult moment of AC Milan. The Rossoneri are experiencing a period of negative results recently and the lack of victory against PSG practically puts AC Milan out of Champions. Progressing to the knockout stage was one of the Rossoneri most important seasonal targets and certainly the most important of the ownership.
The good news is that both Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic have fully recovered and will be available for AC Milan vs PSG. In defence, Malick Thiaw and Fikayo Tomori will form the central duo with Davide Calabria and Theo Hernandez completing the back four. The French left-back missed the Serie A match with Udinese match to a slight injury but he has recovered as well.
The recovery of Ruben Loftus-Cheek couldn’t had happened at a more appropriate time. The English midfielder will start from the first minute although judging from the Udinese match he lacks rhythm. Loftus-Cheek will play alongside Tijjani Reijnders and Rade Krunic who is advantage over Yacine Adli.
The formation change from the 4-4-2 against Udinese to the standard 4-3-3 means that Stefano Pioli will deploy the regular names in attack. Luka Jovic returns to the bench after yet another disappointing performances with Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic in support of Olivier Giroud.
Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique is expected to deploy a very attacking minded squad with Mbappe, Dembele and Goncalo Ramos set to start from the first minute. Milan vs PSG will mark the return of Gianluigi Donnarumma at San Siro with the Rossoneri ultras having prepared something special to welcome him.
AC MILAN Probable XI (4-3-3): Maignan, Calabria, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez, Loftus-Cheek, Krunic, Reijnders, Pulisic, Rafael Leao, Giroud.
PSG Probable XI (4-2-4): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Ugarte; Dembele, Lee, Ramos, Mbappe.
