HELLAS VERONA (3-4-3): Lorenzo Montipo; Federico Ceccherini, Koray Gunter, Nicolo Casale; Marco Faraoni, Ivan Ilic, Miguel Veloso, Darko Lazovic; Antonin Barak, Nikola Kalinic, Gianluca Caprari.
Subs: Sandro Tonali, Andrea Conti, Andreas Jungdal, Pietro Pellegri, Rade Krunic, Rafael Leao, Simon Kjaer, Matteo Gabbia, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Pierre Kalulu Kyatengwa, Samu Castillejo.
MILAN (4-2-3-1): Ciprian Tatarusanu; Davide Calabria, Alessio Romagnoli, Fikayo Tomori, Fode Ballo-Toure; Ismael Bennacer, Franck Kessie; Alexis Saelemaekers, Daniel Maldini, Ante Rebic; Olivier Giroud.
The biggest team news today of course is the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic – but in what is a boost for Verona, the Sweden star does not start. Instead, he makes the bench, with Olivier Giroud leading the line for the hosts.
Victory on home turf therefore is expected, but they may well face a sterner test than expected in the shape of Igor Tudor’s visitors. Verona have gone unbeaten across their last four league games – and they’ll be determined to make it five in a row.
With the October international break now in the rearview mirror, clubs can return their concerns to the Scudetto – and in a tight race near the summit, Stefano Pioli will know that dropped points even at this early stage could prove fatal to his side’s ambitions.
Hello and welcome to live coverage of the 2020-21 Serie A season, as Milan look to make a winning return to the domestic front against Hellas Verona at San Siro.
