"AC Milan are back in action at San Siro on Sunday night, hoping to follow up the midweek win over Como with another victory. The opponents tonight are Lecce, a side that are one place above the relegation zone at present. With Inter and Napoli having won on Saturday, there is once again a need to respond for Massimiliano Allegri's side. Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, De Winter; Saelemaekers, Ricci, Modric, Rabiot, Estupinan; Pulisic, Leao."
"As La Gazzetta dello Sport report this morning, the only injured player for Milan is Santiago Gimenez. Strahinja Pavlovic has been back in training after having nine stitches in his head, but isn't deemed fit enough to start the game. Therefore, the three-man defence will be Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Koni De Winter ahead of Mike Maignan in goal."
"Alexis Saelemaekers will start again on the right, with Pervis Estupinan coming in on the left. Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot keep their place in the midfield trio, with Samuele Ricci joining them on the right side. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic should get the nod for only their third league start together. Predicted bench: Terracciano, Pittarella; Athekame, Odogu, Bartesaghi, Fofana, Jashari, Loftus-Cheek; Nkunku, Füllkrug."
AC Milan host Lecce at San Siro seeking another win after a midweek victory over Como while Inter and Napoli have increased pressure with recent wins. Santiago Gimenez is the only confirmed injury, and Strahinja Pavlovic has returned to training but is not considered fit enough to start. A 3-5-2 is expected with Mike Maignan in goal, a back three of Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Koni De Winter, wing-backs Alexis Saelemaekers and Pervis Estupinan, and a midfield trio of Samuele Ricci, Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic are projected to lead the attack together. Lecce sit one place above the relegation zone and are predicted to lineup 4-2-3-1.
