Last updated:

AC Milan

Christian Pulišić is set for his first start since returning from injury, having come off the bench in each of his last two matches. He returned to action against Lazio before playing 49 minutes against Benfica.

At right-back, Mario Gila is expected to return to the eleven after starting on the bench last time, when Filippo Terracciano made his first start in recent weeks and Gila played the final 49 minutes. Luka Modrić is also expected to return, having not played at all in the Benfica match.

Lecce

Willem Geubbels remains a doubt for Lecce's trip to Milan. The forward already missed last weekend's win over Monza with an ankle injury, and he looks unlikely to be fit for Sunday's game either.

In midfield, Youssef Maleh looks set to keep his place after making his first league start of the season against Monza, taking over the central role from Oumar Ngom. At the back, Jamil Siebert and Tiago Gabriel are again favoured as Lecce's centre-back pairing, having been preferred to Kialonda Gaspar last time out.
