According to rumors, Stefano Pioli may change up his Milan strategy against Inter tonight by deploying Rafael Leao as a center forward and putting Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah in new positions.
Pioli is naturally eager to prevent the Nerazzurri from winning the Scudetto, which a victory would mathematically assure.
Milannews.it claims that the coach may try out a completely different lineup in an attempt to take Simone Inzaghi by surprise.
Leao would start in place of Olivier Giroud at center forward in the same 4-2-3-1 configuration.
Pulisic would be able to move Leao back to his preferred left-sided position after performing incredibly well on the right this season.
Consequently, Ruben Loftus-Cheek would be the lone dependable player as a trequartista, while his USMNT teammate Musah would take the right wing.
Ismael Bennacer will start on the bench in favor of Yacine Adli and Tijjani Reijnders in the midfield.
Defense is the only position where there are no questions because Malick Thiaw is suspended, Simon Kjaer is still not practicing with the entire team and isn’t even predicted to start, and Pierre Kalulu is hurt.
Milan (4-2-3-1): Adli, Reijnders; Musah, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic; Leao Hernandez; Calabria, Gabbia, Tomori, and Theo Hernandez
