Stefano Pioli has decided to overhaul his AC Milan squad and try a new formation for tomorrow’s match against Hellas Verona.
AC Milan shift their focus to Serie A after the goalless draw against Newcastle United. On Saturday, at 15:00 CET, the Rossoneri will host Hellas Verona at San Siro. Stefano Pioli’s squad needs to react after the two consecutive winless games that also include the derby disaster. Stefano Pioli is oriented to switch to 3-4-3 for AC Milan vs Verona according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Italian coach will make changes in every department, starting with the goalkeeper role. Marco Sportiello will replace Mike Maignan in between the positions. The French goalkeeper needs to recover in time for the next match in the Champions League. The final three will be formed by Malick Thiaw, Simon Kjaer and Fikayo Tomori.
However, Pierre Kalulu has not recovered yet and may have to miss another 2 weeks. Alessandro Florenzi impressed in the second half against Newcastle and will start against Verona. AC Milan meeting Verona will also mark Yunus Musah’s debut from the first minute. Rade Krunic remains untouchable for Stefano Pioli while the final position in midfield will be occupied by Tijjani Reijnders.
AC MILAN Probable XI (3-4-3): Sportiello, Thiaw, Kjaer, Tomori, Musah, Florenzi, Krunic, Reijnders, Pulisic, Leao, Giroud.
VERONA Probable XI (3-4-2-1): Ontipo, Magnani, Hien, Dawidowicz, Faraoni, Hongla, Duda, Lazovic, Ngonge, Folorunsho, Djuric.
