AC Milan to Face Parma with Key Player Changes

AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli is expected to implement several changes to his starting line-up for the upcoming match against Parma. This game will be held tonight, following a recent draw with Torino.

Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport indicate that coach Paulo Fonseca will continue with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Key defensive players such as Mike Maignan, Davide Calabria, and Fikayo Tomori are expected to retain their positions, while Theo Hernandez and summer signing Strahinja Pavlović will join them.

The midfield will also see adjustments, with Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah stepping in for Ismael Bennacer and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. However, Loftus-Cheek will shift to an attacking midfielder role.

Rafael Leao is anticipated to occupy the left wing, and Christian Pulisic the right, which entails that Samuel Chukwueze will start from the bench. Additionally, Noah Okafor has been selected to lead the line, replacing the injured Alvaro Morata who suffered a muscle injury during Saturday’s game.

The predicted line-up for AC Milan in the 4-2-3-1 configuration is as follows: Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Pavlović, and Theo Hernandez; Reijnders, Loftus-Cheek; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao, and Okafor. On the other hand, Parma is expected to line up in a similar formation with Suzuki; Coulibaly, Del Prato, Circati, Valeri; Bernabé, Estevez; Man, Sohm, Mihaila; and Bonny.
