Official: AC Milan starting eleven vs. Red Star

AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca has named the team that will face Red Star, with no real surprises.

Milan have won their last three Champions League games and are moving up the table after two defeats at the start of the season, but Today’s game against the Serbian champions will not be easy due to its shape.

Fonseca will have a slightly weakened attack for the game, with Christian Pulisic and Noah Okafor unavailable due to injury alongside Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Bennacer and Luka Jovic.
