AC Milan Team News
Injury woes at the camp this weekend include Andrea Conti, Alessio Romagnoli, and Mateo Mussachio. However, Piolo will receive boosts this weekend with the returning Theo Hernandez and Ismael Bennacer. Another doubt for the starting lineup is Alexis Saelemaekers in place of young sensation Samu Castillejo. Keeping the attacking line for the side is veteran forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
