AC Milan will be up against Lecce tomorrow evening and according to the latest reports, Sergio Conceicao will make a fair few changes to the starting eleven. Warren Bondo will finally get his debut for the Rossoneri.
After three consecutive defeats, things need to change for the Rossoneri in order to avoid missing out on European competitions completely. It’s easier said than done, however, as the form – in addition to the atmosphere – has truly been dreadful in the last few weeks.
According to Sky Italia, Theo Hernandez will keep his starting spot on the left-hand side of the defence after all, having worked well in training during the week. Marco Sportiello and Malick Thiaw will replace the suspended Mike Maignan and Strahinja Pavlovic, while Kyle Walker will complete the back four.
In midfield, Bondo will get his debut for the club (finally) and he will be partnered with Yunus Musah, as Tijjani Reijnders is set to get the No.10 role instead. Christian Pulisic will be the starting left-winger, sending Rafael Leao to the bench, while Alex Jimenez and Tammy Abraham will complete the attack.
In other words, the manager is set to make five changes to the XI, which is not as many as was first reported (Riccardo Sottil and Davide Bartesaghi were both mentioned).
Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Sportiello; Walker, Gabbia, Thiaw, Theo; Bondo, Musah; Jimenez, Reijnders, Pulisic; Abraham.
