AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has named his starting line-up for the game against Genoa, and there are multiple changes compared to the side that drew 0-0 with Juventus last weekend.
A total of six players will miss the game: Mike Maignan (injury), Davide Calabria (suspension), Simon Kjaer (injury), Yunus Musah (suspension), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (injury) and Luka Jovic (injury).
Pioli has named a back four of Alessandro Florenzi, Matteo Gabbia, Fikayo Tomori and Theo Hernandez ahead of Marco Sportiello, who is standing in for Maignan again.
The midfield double pivot consists of Ismael Bennacer and Tijjani Reijnders, with Christian Pulisic playing ahead of them in the attacking midfielder role.
That frees up a spot on the right for Samuel Chukwueze to get a start, and Rafael Leao will be on the opposite flank with Olivier Giroud leading the line as the centre-forward.
Official Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Sportiello; Florenzi, Gabbia, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Reijnders; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao; Giroud.
Bench: Nava, Torriani, Adli, Okafor, Kalulu, Thiaw, Caldara, Pobega, Terracciano, Zeroli, Bartesaghi, Sia.
Official Genoa XI (3-5-2): Martinez; Vogliacco, De Winter, Vasquez; Spence, Thorsby, Badelj, Frendrup, Martin; Ekuban, Retegui.
Bench: Leali, Sommariva, Bohinen, Strootman, Sabelli, Cittadini, Ankeye, Papadopoulos, Haps.
