"AC Milan will be up against Fiorentina tomorrow afternoon and Niclas Füllkrug, who arrived at the start of the month, could make his first start for the club. At the time of writing, 48 hours haven't even passed since Milan 1-1 draw against Genoa came to end, taking place on Thursday evening. Adding the fact that tomorrow's game is scheduled for 15:00 CET and not in the evening, you can understand that some rotation is needed."
"In addition to Modric, as reported by MilanNews, Rafael Leao could also be rested by the manager. He's currently in a battle with Füllkrug for the final spot up front, with Christian Pulisic nailed on to keep his place in the XI. At the back, Koni De Winter will replace the suspended Fikayo Tomori, while it looks like Samuele Ricci will take Modric's spot."
AC Milan intend to rotate the squad for the afternoon fixture against Fiorentina, with Niclas Füllkrug a candidate to make his first start after arriving earlier in the month. A short turnaround following a 1-1 draw with Genoa and a 15:00 CET kickoff necessitate resting key players. Luka Modric will be rested and is expected to begin on the bench in a league match for the first time, reflecting his heavy minutes. Rafael Leao could also be rested as he competes with Füllkrug for the final forward spot, while Christian Pulisic will retain his place. Koni De Winter will step in for the suspended Fikayo Tomori and Samuele Ricci is likely to take Modric's midfield role. A predicted 3-5-2 XI and a bench list accompany these selection decisions.
