Genoa vs. Milan: probable line-ups and where to watch

Luka Modrić, Christian Pulisic and Mario Gila are expected to start for Milan at Genoa as Ruben Amorim shakes things up after Thursday’s defeat, while former Rossoneri Stephan El Shaarawy and Lorenzo Colombo start for Daniele De Rossi’s side.

The match kicks off at 15:00 CET [14:00 GMT] on Sunday at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris, with Davide Massa as referee.

Milan won the derby last weekend but came back down to earth on Thursday, losing 2-0 at home to Ferencváros in the Europa League. Amorim is expected to make several changes in response, with Gila, Diego Moreira, Modrić and Pulisic all set to start as the Rossoneri try to keep pace in the race for the top four. They are fifth in Serie A on 21 points.

Milan have a long absentee list. Alexis Saelemaekers, Matteo Gabbia, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori and Pietro Terracciano are all out. Samuel Chukwueze has had hip surgery and faces around three months on the sidelines, and Strahinja Pavlović has been ruled out.

Genoa have only Nuredini to assess, while Leo Østigård is one booking away from a suspension.

There are a couple of selection doubts. Gazzetta have Pervis Estupiñán at left-back, but Goal tip Davide Bartesaghi to start there. For Genoa, Tommaso Baldanzi is ahead of Wiafe in midfield, and Colombo is narrowly favoured over Vitinha up front.
