Sky Sport Italia reports that Yunus Musah will be on the bench for Milan‘s match against Lazio, so Adrien Rabiot will play in central midfield, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek will take the role of attacking midfielder.

Milan coach Amorim has reportedly made a late change to his starting line-up for today’s Serie A match against Lazio.

Sky: Amorim picks Loftus-Cheek over Musah for Lazio vs. Milan

USMNT international Musah was expected to join Luka Modric in Milan’s two-man midfield, but according to Sky, Rabiot will start in the middle of the park instead, with Loftus-Cheek deployed as an attacking midfielder.

The rest of the Milan XI is confirmed, which means Pervis Estupinan will once again start as a left wing-back, and Samuel Chukwueze will return in the XI on the opposite flank.

Italy starlet Alphadjo Cissé will be the other attacking midfielder, while Gonçalo Ramos will be the Rossoneri’s sole striker.

Christian Pulisic will start from the bench again, but Amorim said on Friday that the American winger would get his first minutes of the season today.

Probable Milan XI vs. Lazio (3-4-2-1): Maignan; Gila, De Winter, Pavlovic; Chukwueze, Modric, Rabiot, Espupinan; Loftus-Cheek, Cissé; Ramos.
