"Strangely, considering there has been no international break, Milan will play their first league game in 10 days tonight. The rescheduled Como game meant not having a fixture at the weekend, after the 3-0 win away against Bologna the Tuesday before last. Milan face Como away from home in Tuscany for the first time since 1991, with Paolo Maldini getting the winner 35 years ago."
"Allegri has opted to go with Mike Maignan in goal and a three-man defence of Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic, which means the in-form Koni De Winter drops to the bench. Zachary Athekame stands in for Saelemaekers, with Davide Bartesaghi on the other flank. The midfield trio is Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot, operating behind a front two of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku. It is the same forward pairing that each scored in Bologna and got the job done."
Massimiliano Allegri named a 3-5-2 starting XI for the away match at Pisa with Mike Maignan in goal and a back three of Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic. Zachary Athekame replaces the injured Alexis Saelemaekers with Davide Bartesaghi on the flank. The midfield features Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot, supporting a front two of Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Christopher Nkunku. Milan return to league action after a ten-day gap following a rescheduled fixture and a 3-0 win at Bologna. Santiago Gimenez is recovering from ankle surgery while Saelemaekers is being nursed for an adductor issue. The bench includes De Winter, Samuele Ricci, Ardon Jashari, Niclas Füllkrug, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.
