No press conference on the eve of Cagliari-Milan. Contrary to what happens in every pre-match, today Stefano Pioli (like Claudio Ranieri) does not speak to journalists.
No mystery, the reason lies in the many close commitments: the coach prefers to take advantage of the little time available to best prepare for the Domus away match.
Milan finds Theo Hernandez again but loses Rade Krunic. Given the close matches with Lazio in the championship and Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League, there will be a turnover which will mainly concern the attack.
Extra time on the spot for Maignan, who has recovered from his injury, while Sportiello is still in goal. In defense there is Florenzi on the right in place of the injured Calabria, then Thiaw (or Kjaer), Tomori and Theo. In the middle of the field Reijnders and Loftus Cheek are practically certain of their place, the third will be chosen between Musah, Pobega and Adli. Up front, the only one certain to start from the 1st minute is Pulisic. Giroud observes a rest period (in his place more Okafor than Jovic). It is probable, but not certain, that Leao will also rest: in that case Pulisic would move to the left and Chukwueze would play on the right.
