Milan-Newcastle, Stefano Pioli’s lineup choices
Starting time at 18:45 at San Siro
.
The drubbing in the Derby è still in the air. However, there's a lot of desire for redemption in the Rossoneri environment. Today (kickoff at 6:45 p.m.), Milan wants the three points in the debut match of its Champions League group. Facing them is Newcastle of former Tonali.
As he has done in the past, Pioli is not giving up on turnover. Last year, mainly due to unexceptional alternatives on the bench, the results were not extraordinary but, this year, after an important summer market, there'è the certainty of being able to do well. Therefore, changes in the starting eleven compared to the match with Inter last Saturday.
The big change will be in the attack where Pulisic will be rested. In his place will be Chukwueze, who will thus play his first match as a starter in the Rossoneri. In defense, important the return of Tomori (in place of Kjaer) while, in midfield, probable the use of Pobega for Reijnders, one of the best in this beginning of the season (Derby aside). For the rest, the usual knowns are confirmed with Leao and Giroud called to hurt the English. In short, it will be a different Milan but the goal remains the same: to win.
