With the Rossonerri set to face Lazio in their biggest test of the season thus far, Milan coach Paulo Fonseca is set to make drastic changes on his quest to seek his first win at his newly appointed club in the Serie A.

La Gazzetta dello Sport’s Luca Bianchin reports that the former Lille tactician is expected to drop Rossonerri star players Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez, changing the entire left-hand side of the pitch.

The Portuguese boss is leaning towards having Mike Maignan in between the sticks. In addtion Emerson Royal is for seen to be making his Rossonerri debut alongside Strihinja Pavlovic, Fikayo Tomori, and Filippo Terracciano in the back four.

Furthermore, Youssouf Fofana is also expected making his debut since joining from Monaco alongside Ruben Loftus-Cheek Tijjani Reijnders in the three-man-midfield.

Finally, Noah Okafor is seeming tipped to start up-top with Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Pulisic out-wide along the flanks of the pitch.
