Ante Rebic should be the only change in Milan’s XI ahead of the first match, as Bologna seek revenge from their last trip to San Siro.

The match kicks off at 19.45 UK time tonight.

Milan coach Stefano Pioli, fresh from the Europa League win against Shamrock Rovers, could leave out new signings Brahim Diaz and Sandro Tonali from the starting line-up once again.

Franck Kessie and Ismael Bennacer are expected to keep their place in the middle of the park, with Ante Rebic the only change in the attacking trident.

The Croatia international is expected to take Alexis Saelemaekers’ place in the line-up, with Simon Kjaer and Matteo Gabbia to continue in the heart of the defence.

Sinisa Mihajlovic wants revenge after the heavy 5-1 defeat at San Siro in July, and the Serbian coach should side a 4-2-3-1 formation against the Rossoneri.

Lorenzo De Silvestri seems set for his Bologna debut at right-back, with Takehiro Tomiyasu and Danilo in the middle.

Riccardo Orsolini should get another chance to shine, with Roberto Soriano and Musa Barrow completing the attacking trident behind Rodrigo Palacio.

Milan (probable): Donnarumma; Calabria, Kjaer, Gabbia, Hernandez; Kessie, Bennacer, Castillejo, Calhanoglu, Rebic; Ibrahimovic

Bologna (probable): Skorupski; De Silvestri, Tomiyasu, Danilo, Dijks; Dominguez, Poli; Orsolini, Soriano, Barrow; Palacio

Referee: La Penna
 
🎙️Adriano Galliani:" Yesterday, when Ibra scored, whom I brought 10 years ago to Milan for the first time, I rejoiced just like when I was Milan's CEO. When I can, I always come to see the Rossoneri's matches. Ibra is extraordinary, stratospheric, and crazy." ❤️🖤
 
📰@AntoVitiello: Leao returned to Milanello and did personalised training, especially athletic work.
Kjaer and Castillejo are fine.
Romagnoli recovered from the calf problem and is now carrying out the reathletisation. https://t.co/lP90U3D3tW

Martina Cambiaghi, Councilor for Sport of the Lombardy Region, has confirmed the next step is to have 25% of the capacity of stadiums open to fans instead of just allowing 1000 people in: "Eliminating the maximum limit makes no sense for structures such as San Siro." https://t.co/lwTaYpE2DT
 
AC Milan admit interest in defender
Posted on September 22, 2020 by Rossonero


AC Milan technical director Paolo Maldini talks about the Rossoneri plans in defence and the possibility of signing Matija Nastasic.
AC Milan don’t intend to wait any longer for Nikola Milenkovic. Unless Fiorentina quickly change their mind and lower their asking price, the Rossoneri will sign another centre back.

Paolo Maldini is always precise and rich in content in his statements. The technical director of AC Milan, in an interview with Tuttomercatoweb, spoke about the situation in defence and the club’s plans on the transfer market.

Maldini admitted that the club will make a new signing to strengthen the back line. “We have a problem in defense with Romagnoli and Musacchio out and Duarte who has been out for some time. We’ll see what to do“.

Yesterday, the name of Schalke defender Nastasic was linked to AC Milan. Maldini admitted that Nastasic is a target. “He is a good player and we like all good players. We have to see if it will be compatible with our budget“. The 27-year-old centre back, who in the past has played for Fiorentina and Manchester City, could arrive on loan.

Maldini then spoke about yesterday’s match against Bologna and about a player who seemed particularly fit, Davide Calabria: “He is confirming what he demonstrated a month and a half ago. This team is more and more convinced that it can achieve the desired results. I have a very high opinion of Calabria, I know where he can go“.
 
📰@86_longo: Nastasic, who is proposed to Milan by agent Fali Ramadani is the low-cost solution considered by Milan management.
Everything revolves around Paquetà's sale.
 
Maldini: “I have a high opinion of Calabria. I know him since he was playing with my son Christian in the youth teams. I know how far he can go.”
 
Maldini: “This team is very balanced in number of players and in positions of play, having two players for each role. If we can improve the team we will do.”
 
🎙️Paolo Maldini spoke to TMW about the victory against Bologna:"We're fine, we have confirmed what we have done up to a month and a half ago. We have some injuries but this has not affected our post-lockdown spirit." https://t.co/GeiaFLyoFm
 
Boban could make sensational AC Milan return
Posted on September 22, 2020 by Rossonero


Former AC Milan Chief Football Officer Zvonimir Boban could make a sensational return to the club claims La Repubblica.
La Repubblica reports a sensational news regarding the management of AC Milan club. According to the Italian newspaper the Rossoneri are seriously considering welcoming back their ‘prodigal son’ in the future.

La Repubblica writes that there is talk of a possible peace between Zvonimir Boban and the Rossoneri club, in particular with the CEO Ivan Gazidis and club owner Elliott Management.

Boban was sacked by AC Milan from his role as Chief Football Officer due to an unauthorized interview, granted a few months ago to La Gazzetta dello Sport in which he condemned some choices of the club not shared by all. The Croatian publicly balseted Gazidis for contacting Ralf Rangnick behind his back and without informing anyone at the club.

A bitter split that could, however, surprisingly be mended. There are rumors of less tense relations despite Boban filing a lawsuit against AC Milan for unjust dismissal.

Thus a return to the club, much desired by his friend Paolo Maldini, cannot be ruled out: “Zvone is a friend, I miss him. Without him, Milan is less strong“. Words of absolute esteem that can sensationally bring the Croatian back to Casa Milan for a second spell.

🎙️Calabria:"Coach tells us that the 2020 rankings sees us second, Atalanta haven't played this weekend so we are first. This gives us much motivation. Doing so well in such a long period means that the qualities are there. We just have to demonstrate them for the whole year."
