Official Serie A Week 35 line-ups: Sassuolo vs. Milan | OneFootball

Milan look to Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku in attack, while Domenico Berardi returns to Sassuolo’s starting XI after serving a two-game ban.

It kicks off at 15:00 CET (14:00 BST) at the Mapei Stadium in Reggio Emilia.

Ardon Jashari replaces the Croatian star in central midfield for the Rossoneri, while Christian Pulisic starts on the bench.

The USMNT star hasn’t yet scored a goal in 2026, so Massimiliano Allegri picks Leao and Nkunku up front.
