A trident of Keisuke Honda, Jeremy Menez and Stephan El Shaarawy is speculated to start for Milan at the weekend against Juventus.
The Rossoneri will host the three-time-consecutive League champions on Saturday evening and are expected to be able to welcome El Shaarawy back to the starting line-up, following his return this week to training after an ankle injury.
Fernando Torres also worked with the rest of the group for part of yesterday’s session, but is only expected to take a place on the bench in Week 3, with El Shaarway set to be matched in attack with Honda on the opposite flank and Menez in the same ‘false nine’ position adopted with success against Parma last weekend.
Christian Abbiati is set to deputise for the injured Diego Lopez in goal, whilst Adil Rami and Cristian Zapata will start in the heart of a defence that is without the injured Alex and suspended Daniele Bonera.
In coming up against former Diavolo Coach Max Allegri, Pippo Inzaghi is expected by both Sky Sport Italia and Tuttosport to keep faith in the same full-back and midfield selection used in Week 2 at the Ennio Tardini.
Milan probable XI to face Juventus: Abbiati; Abate, Rami, Zapata, De Sciglio; Poli, De Jong, Muntari; Honda, Menez, El Shaarawy
