AC Milan XI vs Chelsea – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

AC Milan conclude their pre-season campaign with a clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The Italian side face a fourth Premier League team of the pre-season campaign and second in successive days. On Saturday, a Rossoneri XI drew 1-1 with Leeds United in Dublin. Milan also faced Arsenal and Liverpool during their tour of Asia.

Massimiliano Allegri is back in charge of Milan and tasked with reviving a faltering giant. Last season’s eighth-place finish in Serie A was the club’s lowest for a decade.

The clash will see several familiar faces return to Stamford Bridge. Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and Fikayo Tomori could feature against their former team, though Christian Pulisic is nursing an ankle injury.

Allegri is short of options at centre-forward, following the exits of Luka Jovic and Tammy Abraham, so Santiago Gimenez could again feature despite playing 61 minutes on Saturday. Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leao could alternatively be paired as an auxiliary attack. Heavy rotation from the team that took on Leeds is expected.

AC Milan predicted lineup

AC Milan predicted XI: Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Ricci, Modric, Musah, Estupinan; Leao, Loftus-Cheek.
