Vincenzo Montella’s Rossoneri have struggled in pre-season and the lack of transfer activity irritated fans, as it’s reported only 10,000 season tickets were sold.
Jose Ernesto Sosa’s international transfer won’t arrive until tomorrow, while Mattia De Sciglio is carrying a knock and Gianluca Lapadula suspended.
The only ‘new’ player in the starting XI is Suso, who returned from a six-month loan spell at Genoa, partnering Carlos Bacca and M’Baye Niang.
Mihajlovic will be revved up to start his Toro adventure where the Milan one ended and has a very impressive squad at his disposal.
Marco Benassi is not 100 per cent fit, but Andrea Belotti leads the attack with Josef Martinez and ex-Inter forward Adem Ljajic.
New signings Lorenzo De Silvestri and Luca Rossettini are thrown straight into the mix.
Milan are unbeaten against Torino in Serie A since 2001, managing 10 wins and seven draws.
The last Granata victory at San Siro was all the way back in March 1985, scraping six draws from 20 visits.
