AC Milan will face Lecce at San Siro this Sunday in a Serie A match. The second-placed Rossoneri aim to challenge Inter for the top spot, while Lecce hopes to move clear of the relegation zone.
Milan remains unbeaten in the league since the season began, while Lecce has only managed to earn one point in their first four league matches this year.
In their last outing, Milan secured a 3-1 victory against Como, highlighted by goalkeeper Maignan’s crucial save when the score was at 1-0, which led to Nkunku’s penalty and two goals from Rabiot.
They previously had draws against Genoa and Fiorentina, along with wins over Cagliari and Verona, placing them at 43 points after 20 matches, just three points behind leaders Inter as they chase the title.
AC Milan team news
Santiago Gimenez will not participate due to ankle surgery, limiting Allegri’s options for the central striker role for the upcoming match.
Strahinja Pavlovic may also miss out due to a head injury that required stitches. Head coach Massimiliano Allegri mentioned, “Pavlović will most likely miss the match… Gimenez is still out, but the others should be available.”
Maignan is expected to lead a solid defensive trio of Tomori, Gabbia, and De Winter, allowing Allegri some flexibility for “some changes” after a demanding stretch of five matches in 16 days.
