AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli has named an interesting starting line-up for today's game against Sassuolo at San Siro.

Alexis Saelemaekers has been selecting in the right wing role and the main surprise is that Ante Rebic has been picked over Rafael Leao, with Olivier Giroud up front. Ismael Bennacer is suspended after picking up too many yellow cards so his place in the midfield has been taken by Rade Krunic, with Sandro Tonali alongside the Bosnian and Charles De Ketelaere ahead of them in the No.10 role for his first start in four months. Ciprian Tatarusanu has been named in goal with a back four of Davide Calabria, Pierre Kalulu, Matteo Gabbia – in for the injured Fikayo Tomori – and Theo Hernandez ahead, marking two changes from the defeat to Lazio.

Milan are in a full-blown crisis and look to Charles De Ketelaere, Rade Krunic and Olivier Giroud to turn things around against Domenico Berardi's equally.
