Di Marzio: Predicted Milan XI to face Cagliari – no Theo, Tomori, Calabria or Leao

AC Milan will take on Cagliari in their penultimate home game of the season tomorrow night and some rather interesting team news has emerged.

According to the latest from Gianluca Di Marzio on his website PazziDiFanta, Milan should take the field with a 4-3-3 system that will start with Marco Sportiello still in goal, considering that Mike Maignan is not yet 100% and might only be by the European Championship.

Pierre Kalulu and Alessandro Florenzi will act on the defensive flanks, while Matteo Gabbia and Malick Thiaw will play in the centre. Yunus Musah, Tijjani Reijnders and Ismael Bennacer are set to start in a midfield three. The attacking trident will probably consist of Christian Pulisic, Samuel Chukwueze and Olivier Giroud.

Theo Hernandez, Fikayo Tomori and Davide Calabria should start from the bench by technical choice, while Rafael Leao is not in the best shape and Noah Okafor will most likely miss the game as he may not even be on the bench due to an injury.

Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Simon Kjaer will not recover in time for the game against the Sardinians either.

Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Sportiello; Kalulu, Gabbia, Thiaw, Florenzi; Musah, Bennacer; Chukwueze, Reijnders, Pulisic; Giroud.
