AC Milan Team News
Rafael Leao remains a major doubt after picking up a calf injury during Milan’s 2-0 Coppa Italia victory over Bari. Christian Pulisic is available and will be crucial to Milan’s attacking threat after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during pre-season. He completed the full 90 minutes in the season opener.
Luka Modric is also expected to start for Milan. The 39-year-old Croatian maestro made his Serie A debut against Cremonese and brings experience to Allegri’s midfield alongside new signings Ardon Jashiri and Samuele Ricci.
Pervis Estupinan provided the assist for Milan’s only goal, but was subbed off at halftime. The Ecuadorian will undergo a fitness test ahead of the clash.
