On the eve of AC Milan vs. Red Star Belgrade, we have a good idea of the team that may take to the field tomorrow, however, there are still some decisions to be made.
Paulo Fonseca hinted at some changes to be made in his press conference earlier this afternoon, and it seems that decisions are yet to be made in some areas of the pitch with some ballots still remaining.
Mike Maignan will remain in between the sticks, as will Matteo Gabbia and Malick Thiaw in front of him, with Theo Hernandez remaining on the left flank, as Milan News suggests. However, Davide Calabria should return from the first minute, despite earlier suggestions that Emerson would start.
In midfield, it should not come as a surprise, but Tijjani Reijnders and Youssouf Fofana will be entrusted with controlling the game with Ruben Loftus-Cheek sitting in front of them.
Rafael Leao will not face competition from Noah Okafor to start – given the Swiss winger is struggling with a back injury. However, there is a decision to be made on the right: Yunus Musah may be slightly preferred currently, but Chukwueze is making an argument for his inclusion.
Then, Alvaro Morata will lead the line.
Probable Milan XI vs. Red Star (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Calabria, Thiaw, Gabbia, Theo; Fofana, Reijnders; Musah, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Morata.
As always, our full preview for the match is available, covering the team news, key stats and players to watch.
