According to Milan News, the coach will need to assess the fitness levels of players who participated in international fixtures and determine if they are ready to start against La Viola.
For instance, Christian Pulisic just returned from a long journey after representing the United States of America, so the team will be cautious not to overwork him. This situation could open up an opportunity for Samuel Chukwueze to start on the right wing.
Tijjani Reijnders will be returning tomorrow after playing two matches for the Netherlands, so his fitness will need to be carefully evaluated before a decision is made about his starting status. Meanwhile, Yacine Adli and Ismael Bennacer are both vying for playing time.
Davide Calabria and Alessandro Florenzi are expected to take up the full-back positions, with Theo Hernandez unavailable due to suspension.
In central defense, Fikayo Tomori and Matteo Gabbia are likely to start, given their current fitness levels. Rafael Leao, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Olivier Giroud are anticipated to comprise three parts of the usual front four in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
