The disappointment at Milan following the home defeat in the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals against Roma has not gone away. Leão and his teammates are convinced they can overturn the result in the return match, the week’s preparation is entirely aimed at the return match at the Olimpico next Thursday. This is why Pioli is planning to change formation and several players for the championship match against Sassuolo scheduled for tomorrow at 3pm at the Mapei Stadium.
MAIGNAN STOP – Rest shift for Mike Maignan, struggling with a slight muscle strain. Sportiello will play in place of the French goalkeeperwho stops as a precaution but will return to the starting lineup next Thursday in Rome.
TOWARDS 4-3-3 – Pulisic, Leão, Loftus-Cheek they will start from the bench in the match against Sassuolo. Pioli launches a 4-3-3 with Adli in the control room, Musah and Reijnders in midfield. In attack there is room for the trident seen in the Monza away match: Chukwueze, Jovic and Okafor.

TERRACCIANO POSTPONED – Pioli still doesn’t trust Terracciano and will ask Theo Hernandez for overtime in a defensive line that will be completed by Florenzi, Kjaer and Tomori. The focus can only be on Roma but Milan must avoid a drop in tension against Sassuolo.
