With doubts, uncertainties, and much more surrounding his first match leading Milan, new manager Stefano Pioli is ready to take on Lecce for his first match on the Milan bench.
The formation will remain 4-3-3, with the insertion among the lines of a mezzala in position of a trequartista (Paquetà) can become a 4-2-1-3. The other new test will be with Calhanoglu, who worked as an outside attacker together with Rebic, Castillejo and Borini (with the Croatian favored to start this match). Leao will be an alternative in central attack to Piatek, who's expected to start the match.
The likely starting line-up, considering the disqualifications of Calabria and Castillejo and Pioli's short time preparing the team, is below:
Milan (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Conti, Musacchio, Romagnoli, T. Hernandez; Kessié, Biglia, Paquetà; Suso, Piatek, Rebic
