Team News AC Milan
AC Milan are without Chukwueze, Gabbia, Saelemaekers, Terracciano and Loftus-Cheek (thigh). Rabiot, Moreira and Gila are doubts, while Modric and Pulisic may be rested ahead of the Inter derby. The list of absentees and doubts therefore shapes the predicted lineup below, and any late change to the doubts or to the resting plans for Modric and Pulisic would be a key factor in the final team selection.
Team News Bologna
Bologna are without Piccoli, Orsolini and Holm, while Odgaard is expected to lead the line. That leaves Odgaard as the focal point of the Bologna attack in the predicted lineup below, with the absences of Piccoli, Orsolini and Holm to be covered elsewhere in the side.
PREDICTED lineups (not confirmed):
AC Milan predicted lineup: Maignan; Tomori, De Winter, Pavlovic, Bartesaghi; Hutchinson, Jashari, Musah, Cisse; Pulisic, Ramos.
Bologna predicted lineup: Skorupski; Darmian, Casale, Theate; Zortea, Ferguson, Pobega, Miranda; Bernardeschi, Odgaard, Cambiaghi.
These lineups are labelled as PREDICTED and are not confirmed, so they should be read as a guide to the likely selections based on the team news above rather than as the final teams.
