MN: Predicted Milan XI to face Como - Leao returns to starting XI as Allegri trials new midfield
"With Adrien Rabiot out, it was impossible that Allegri would go unchanged for this game. However, most would not have expected the number of changes that the Italian is expected to go for, according to report this evening. As written by MilanNews, it appears that there will be three changes to the team that beat Pisa. Though, they are not as spread out as most would've expected, with two differences in midfield and one in the attacking duo."
"Moving forward, Rabiot will be replaced on the left of midfield by Samuele Ricci, whilst Youssouf Fofana will also be replaced in the midfield three by Ardon Jashari, giving both of them a chance to play alongside Luka Modric together. Then, Ruben Loftus-Cheek retains his place up front, and he will start alongside the returning Rafael Leao. Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Athekame, Jashari, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Loftus-Cheek, Leao."
Adrien Rabiot is unavailable, prompting three changes to AC Milan's starting XI for the Como match. Two midfield positions and one attacking slot will be altered from the team that beat Pisa. Fikayo Tomori is preferred to Koni De Winter in defense. Samuele Ricci is set to occupy the left midfield role previously held by Rabiot, while Ardon Jashari will replace Youssouf Fofana to partner Luka Modric. Ruben Loftus-Cheek retains his forward spot and will start alongside Rafael Leao. The predicted formation is a 3-5-2 with Maignan in goal.
