Sky: Hutchinson, Jashari and Bartesaghi – Amorim expected to name several changes in Milan-Benfica

It seemed pretty likely that Ruben Amorim would make a few changes for the Europa League clash against Benfica. However, the AC Milan manager has now turned that up to the max.

With few chances to rest given this season, Amorim is now expected to offer a few opportunities to new starters against Benfica, despite what reports had suggested.

This evening, a report from Sky has thrown the predicted XI from much of this week into the water, with Ruben Amorim now set to make several changes, as MilanNews relays.

Amorim’s expected Milan XI

At the back, Mike Maignan, Koni De Winter and Strahinja Pavlovic will start. However, Filippo Terracciano is expected to come into the back three on the right-hand side, offering Mario Gila a chance to rest.

Ahead of them, Samuel Chukwueze will be the only surviving starter from the weekend. Yunus Musah will replace Luka Modric, Ardon Jashari will replace Adrien Rabiot and Davide Bartesaghi is expected to be given a starting role.

Ahead of them, Omari Hutchinson will be given a first start alongside Alphadjo Cisse and Goncalo Ramos will lead the line. A heavily rotated XI, indeed and it will certainly be a gamble against one of the better sides in the competition.
