AC Milan host AC Monza at the San Siro early tomorrow morning. The Rossoneri lost 3-2 to Atalanta in the league but beat Newcastle United 2-1 in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Stefano Pioli faces a defensive crisis with Fikayo Tomori the only central defender in the first team and Davide Calabria’s red card marking a change from the back four used in the previous three games. Probably one of the Primavera players will start.
Raffaelle Palladino’s Monza side are exciting players in the league after being promoted last year and have caused many big upsets. Palladino is also one of the names often mentioned as a replacement for Pioli, so he will treat this game as an audition and throw everything he has at us.
Milan youth product Lorenzo Colombo is on loan from Monza and will return to San Siro. He scored 3 goals and 1 assist this season.
Expected lineup (4-2-3-1): Maignan, Florenzi, Tomori, Hernandez, Bartesaghi, Adli (Bennacer), Reijnders, Pulisic, Loftus-Cheek, Leao, Giroud.
