Milan Hope to Bounce Back with Victory Against Frosinone
After last week’s disappointing draw, Milan is determined to get back on track as they face Frosinone in a challenging match at the Stadio Stirpe. Kick-off is set for 17:00 GMT.
Having missed the chance to close in on second place due to their draw against Roma, Milan’s Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, and Olivier Giroud are eager to make amends in this encounter against Matias Soule and Kaio Jorge‘s Frosinone.
Stefano Pioli‘s side had been enjoying a four-match winning streak in Serie A until the draw with Roma. They will still be without Fikayo Tomori, Pierre Kalulu, Malick Thiaw, Mattia Caldara, Tommaso Pobega, and Samuel Chukwueze, who is currently participating in AFCON. However, the return of Ismael Bennacer from international duty is a boost for the team.
Frosinone, who previously struggled with only one point from seven matches, have shown signs of improvement recently with a win against Sassuolo and a draw against Atalanta. The presence of Juventus-owned strikers Soule and Kaio Jorge will be crucial for Frosinone. However, they will be without several injured players such as Kevin Bonifazi, Anthony Oyono, Marvin Cuni, Fares Ghedjemis, Nadir Zortea, Sergio Kalaj, Mateus Lusuardi, Jaime Baez, and Riccardo Marchizza. On a positive note, Pol Lirola and Ilario Monterisi have returned to the squad, and deadline day signing Emanuele Valeri adds to their options.
The lineups for the match are as follows: Frosinone: Turati; Gelli, Okoli, Romagnoli, Brescianini; Mazzitelli, Barrenechea, Harroui; Soulé, Kaio Jorge, Seck Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Kjaer, Gabbia, Theo Hernandez; Reijnders, Adli; Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao; Giroud
