Milan coach Sergio Conceicao is reportedly planning to make five changes to his team’s lineup after their last Serie A match. The club aims to return to winning ways in the game against Lecce following three consecutive league defeats.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 18:00 CET (17:00 GMT) at the Stadio Via del Mare in Lecce.
Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez remain among the most criticized Rossoneri players, but the left-back is expected to start, while the Portuguese forward is likely to begin the game on the bench.
Conceicao is rumored to be considering using Yunus Musah and Alex Jimenez as attacking wingers. However, Sky Sport Italia suggests that the USMNT player could also be used in a three-man midfield alongside Warren Bondo and Tijjani Reijnders if the coach chooses a 4-3-3 formation.
Surprisingly, Tammy Abraham is expected to lead the attack instead of Santiago Gimenez, and Christian Pulisic is likely to be the only star forward in the starting lineup, as Joao Felix is also expected to start on the bench.
Lecce coach Marco Giampaolo will rely on sought-after striker Nikola Krstovic upfront, with Tete Morente and Santiago Perotti on the wings.
