Milan plan changes for PSG trip

Stefano Pioli is expected to make numerous changes to Milan in the Champions League showdown with Paris Saint-Germain, including Pierre Kalulu and Rade Krunic.

It kicks off at Parc des Princes on Wednesday at 20.00 UK time (19.00 GMT).

The Rossoneri have made the trip without injured Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Samuel Chukwueze, Noah Okafor, Marco Sportiello and Ismael Bennacer.

Compared to Sunday’s 1-0 defeat to Juventus, Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez are available, as they were suspended in Serie A.

Kalulu came off the bench in that game and is expected to start here in place of Davide Calabria, as he brings more pace when dealing with Kylian Mbappé.

Krunic made his comeback as a substitute with Juve after a couple of months out and he could also start, with either Yunus Musah or Tommaso Pobega joining Tijjani Reijnders.

Paris Saint-Germain are missing Sergio Rico, Nuno Mendes and Presnel Kimpembe, while Marco Asensio is also a major doubt.

The only real question mark is between Goncalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani upfront.

There are plenty of familiar faces for Serie A fans, including ex-Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and former Inter pair Achraf Hakimi and Milan Skriniar.

Lucas Hernandez should also line up against his brother Theo.

Probable line-ups

PSG (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Skriniar, Lucas Hernandez; Zaire-Emery, Ugarte, Vitinha; Dembélé, Ramos, Mbappé

Milan (4-3-3): Maignan; Kalulu, Thiaw, Tomori, Theo Hernandez; Musah, Krunic, Reijnders; Pulisic, Giroud, Rafael Leao
