"AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri has named his side for the Coppa Italia last-16 clash against Lazio, and he has opted for multiple changes. Milan played in this competition at the Stadio Olimpico a few months ago but lost to Bologna in the final capping a bitter campaign. A lot has changed since, and tonight they face a Lazio side eager avenge Saturday night's defeat in the league meeting at San Siro."
"In terms of injury news, Christian Pulisic returned to training during the week and makes the bench, but Zachary Athekame and Santiago Gimenez remain out. The negative note from the week is that Youssouf Fofana has sustained a muscle problem so he will be out. Allegri will name Mike Maignan in goal with Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic in the three-man defence, but there is a change: Koni De Winter comes in, to give Matteo Gabbia a rest."
Massimiliano Allegri selected a rotated AC Milan side for the Coppa Italia last-16 match at Lazio, making multiple changes and resting some regulars. Mike Maignan starts in goal behind a three-man defence of Fikayo Tomori, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic. Alexis Saelemaekers and Pervis Estupinan operate as wing-backs. Samuele Ricci and Ardon Jashari join Adrien Rabiot in midfield, replacing Youssouf Fofana and Luka Modric. Ruben Loftus-Cheek partners Rafael Leao up front. Christian Pulisic returned to training and is on the bench. Zachary Athekame, Santiago Gimenez and injured Fofana are unavailable. Milan previously lost the Coppa Italia final to Bologna.
