Christian Pulisic is set to make his Serie A debut with Milan against Bologna, while Claudio Ranieri’s Cagliari visit Torino.
Serie A Week 1 ends today with two more games. Torino and newly promoted side Cagliari meet at the Stadio Grande Torino at 18:30 CEST, while Milan make their 2023-24 debut at the Stadio Dall’Ara in Bologna at 20:45.
The Rossoneri have signed eight new players this summer and the ninth, Marco Pellegrino of Platense, is incoming. Pulisic is among Milan’s new faces and will start on the right flank. Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Tijjani Reijnders will get the nod in the middle of the park alongside Rade Krunic.
Captain Davide Calabria will be the only Italian in Milan’s XI.
New signing Raoul Bellanova will make his Serie A debut for Torino against Cagliari while Claudio Ranieri will take charge of the Sardinians for a game in Italy’s top flight 30 years after the last time.
