MN: Probable Milan XI vs. Torino – Conceicao places trust in Theo | OneFootball

AC Milan are preparing to face Torino on Saturday evening, and Sergio Conceicao is looking to continue with nearly the same team that drew to Feyenoord.

There has been a lot of talk since the draw in midweek, and not a lot of it, if any, has been positive. However, Conceicao wants to continue with a similar team, after all, he has had few chances to trial much different tactical-wise, so it would not make sense to change the personnel much.

That being said, according to Milan News, there will be a few differences from the team in the game against Feyenoord.

In goal, Mike Maignan will remain, as will Strahinja Pavlovic and surprisingly Theo Hernandez – the Frenchman trained as a starter this morning, so his position is quite solid it seems, especially after the recent support. However, Fikayo Tomori and Alex Jimenez will come in for Malick Thiaw and Kyle Walker, the latter will miss the game through injury.

Yunus Musah will also return to the bench, as Youssouf Fofana slots back into the side alongside Tijjani Reijnders.

Then, the front four will once again continue, with Conceicao hoping for a breakthrough – despite not being fully fit, Christian Pulisic starts on the right, Joao Felix in the centre, Rafael Leao on the left and then Santiago Gimenez leads the line.

Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Jimenez, Tomori, Pavlovic, Theo; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Felix, Leao; Gimenez.
