Bayer Leverkusen-Milan, the probable formations

AC Milan takes on Bayer Leverkusen on the second day of the Champions League. Kickoff at 9 p.m. at the 'BayArena'. After the heavy home defeat to Liverpool, the Rossoneri seek redemption in Europe. On the other side, the Germans want to confirm themselves after the blazing 4-0 win over Feyenoord.

Xabi Alonso relies on Boniface in attack, supported by Wirtz and Terrier in the three-quarter. Midfield dike formed by Andrich and Xhaka, on the outsides space for Frimpong and Grimaldo. Defense headed by Tah, between the posts there'è Hradecky.

Fonseca has to deal with Morata injured: in his place è ready Loftus-Cheek, who will act as a trequartista, with Pulisic and Leao on his sides, behind Abraham the only point. In midfield, confirmation for the Fofana-Reijnders pair, in defense Calabria and Pavlovic will undermine Emerson Royal and Tomori.
