Jens Petter Hauge seems set for his first start at Milan against Lille in the Europa League, as Ante Rebic takes place up front in Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s absence.
The match kicks off at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy 17.55 UK time.
There’s no Zlatan when Milan travel to France to redeem themselves after having lost their first game in 2020-21 against the French side earlier this month.
But the Rossoneri are yet to lose in 2020 without the veteran on the pitch.
Jens Petter Hauge seems set for his first start at Milan against Lille in the Europa League, as Ante Rebic takes place up front in Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s absence.
The match kicks off at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy 17.55 UK time.
There’s no Zlatan when Milan travel to France to redeem themselves after having lost their first game in 2020-21 against the French side earlier this month.
But the Rossoneri are yet to lose in 2020 without the veteran on the pitch.
Coach Stefano Pioli, replaced by Daniele Bonera in the dugout, could change five players from the side that beat Napoli 3-1 in Serie A.
Captain Alessio Romagnoli could be rested and replaced by Matteo Gabbia, who should partner Simon Kjaer.
Sandro Tonali should replace Franck Kessie too and Hauge could start his first game at left in the attacking trident with Samu Castillejo and Hakan Calhaoglu.
Lille will start with hat-trick hero Yusuf Yazici from the reverse leg up front, paired with Jonathan David in the 4-4-2 of Christophe Galtier.
Renato Sanches is injured and Timothy Weah, the son of former Milan hero George, should be on the bench.
Lille (probable): Maignan; Pied, Fonte, Botman, Bradaric; Araujo, Xeka, André, Bamba; Yazici, David
Milan (probable): Donnarumma; Dalot, Kjaer, Gabbia, Theo Hernandez; Bennacer, Tonali; Castillejo, Calhanoglu, Hauge; Rebic
