In Pulisic’s trio, Leao and Jovic replace Giroud, who was rested
A strong return to the tournament: This is what the Rossoneri management dictated after their relegation to the Europa League. We must follow him immediately. Against Monza, Milan must certainly return to winning ways, and to do so, Pioli will field the following lineup, still orphaned by several injured defenders (Thiao, Kjaer, Calolo, Pellegrino and Caldara) to which the suspended Calabria have been added: Mignan in goal, Florenzi, Tomori, Theo Hernandez and one of the Primavera players Simic and Partisague in defence, in midfield Bennacer can return from the first minute with Musa and Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic in front of Trident, Leao and the refreshed Jovic. Instead of Jiro, he remained at rest.
Colombo from the first minute, followed by Motta Carvalho and Colbani
For the match at San Siro against Milan, Monza coach Raffaele Palladino will likely be able to count on the return of Pablo Mari and Caldirola, who missed the last home game against Genoa. If they start from the beginning, the defensive unit will be completed by D’Ambrosio protecting Di Gregorio. There is no change in the midfield, with Pessina and Gagliardini confirmed in the middle of the field, and Kyriakopoulos and Syoria on the wings. In attack, Colombo will support Motta Carvalho and Colbani.
