"Against Genoa, who drew last year at San Siro to ruin the club's 125th anniversary celebrations, the best players will take the field. The starting defence of Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic will return in front of Mike Maignan. Unlike Friday's match against Cagliari, the Italian centre-back will start, something he hasn't done since mid-December when he was sidelined with a left knee injury."
"After starting in Sardinia on Friday, Luka Modric has had time to recover and will be there against Genoa. It's more difficult to imagine the Croatian starting against Fiorentina too, so the other idea could be to play part of the game tomorrow night, to preserve him a bit for Sunday. Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi will be out wide, with Youssouf Fofana and Adrien Rabiot joining Modric."
AC Milan face four league matches in eleven days, requiring careful minutes management. Massimiliano Allegri does not plan a mass overhaul for the Genoa match and intends to deploy his best players. Luka Modric will start against Genoa but is likely to be rested on Sunday in Florence. The expected defensive trio is Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic in front of Mike Maignan, with some uncertainty over Pavlovic and De Winter. Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi will operate wide, Youssouf Fofana and Adrien Rabiot will support Modric, and Christian Pulisic with Rafael Leao will lead the attack.
