AC Milan predicted lineup and team news vs Sassuolo

AC Milan predicted lineup and team news vs Sassuolo AC Milan heads on the road to face Sassuolo in their upcoming Serie A match on Saturday. The Rossoneri are closing in on a top-four finish and need just five more points to secure a place in next season’s UEFA Champions League. They currently sit third in the table with 67 points from 34 games.

Their recent form has been mixed, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their last five matches. A goalless draw against Juventus last time out showed defensive improvement with a second straight clean sheet, but also exposed their struggles in attack. Still, Milan has been strong away from home this season, picking up 10 wins.

AC Milan team news Manager Massimiliano Allegri faces a major setback with Luka Modric ruled out for the rest of the season due to a serious facial injury suffered against Juventus. Ardon Jashari is expected to replace him in midfield. There could be other changes too, with Pervis Estupiñán pushing to start at left-back ahead of Davide Bartesaghi to add more attacking intent.

In attack, Christopher Nkunku is in contention to start, likely alongside either Rafael Leao or Christian Pulisic. Even without Modric, Milan still has good squad depth as they approach the final stretch, with defenders Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori fit and available to lead the backline against a challenging Sassuolo side. AC Milan predicted lineup Possible AC Milan starting XI: Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Jashari, Rabiot, Estupinan; Nkunku, Leao When will the match kick off?
