"According to Sky, the big news is that Allegri will make a change to the three-man defence that has been very solid since the start of the season. Fikayo Tomori will be rested, as Koni De Winter should get a first start alongside Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic. Alexis Saelemaekers will move back to his right wing-back role as Santiago Gimenez partners Rafael Leao up front."
"Davide Bartesaghi will be the other wing-back, with a midfield trio of Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci from right to left. Just like against La Viola, the bench will be threadbare with Tomori and Nkunku the only senior outfield players. Loftus-Cheek remains sidelined with muscle discomfort. Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Gimenez, Leao."
Massimiliano Allegri must adjust the AC Milan line-up for the Pisa match amid a significant injury list. Multiple senior players missed the Fiorentina game, leaving just seven substitutes available. Christopher Nkunku returned to full training and is fit enough for a place on the bench. Fikayo Tomori is expected to be rested, with Koni De Winter starting alongside Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic in a three-man defence. Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi will occupy the wing-back roles. A midfield trio of Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci is projected, with Santiago Gimenez and Rafael Leao leading the attack. The bench will remain thin and Ruben Loftus-Cheek is still sidelined.
