"There are quite a few doubts regarding the starting eleven for Cagliari-Milan tomorrow, given that several players aren't at their best, but a first indication has now emerged. Milan are looking to start the year in the best way possible, i.e. with a win, but they will have to get past Cagliari to succeed on this front. While the Rossoneri have been very successful in this fixture historically, it's never easy to face the Sardinian side away from home."
"According to the latest from Gazzetta dello Sport's Luca Bianchin, Pavlovic is expected to grit his teeth and play despite the flu that he's been struggling with in the last few days. However, if he doesn't make it, Davide Bartesaghi and Pervis Estupinan will start on the left-hand side of the defence. Up front, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will definitely start and is expected to partner up with Rafael Leao, who has been deemed to be in better condition than Pulisic currently."
Milan travel to Cagliari aiming to start the year with a win while facing doubts over several players' fitness. Christopher Nkunku is ruled out for the match. Strahinja Pavlovic has been unwell with the flu but is expected to play; Davide Bartesaghi or Pervis Estupinan could replace him if necessary. Ruben Loftus-Cheek will move into attack alongside Rafael Leao, with Christian Pulisic more likely to be a substitute than a starter. Youssouf Fofana returns to midfield to cover Loftus-Cheek's usual role. The projected formation is a 3-5-2 lineup.
