AC Milan continue their Serie A campaign when they travel to face Lecce on Friday evening.
The Rossoneri are looking to bounce back from a disappointing 2-1 home defeat to newly-promoted Cremonese in their season opener and desperately need three points to kickstart their campaign under Massimiliano Allegri.

Rafael Leao remains a major doubt after picking up a calf injury during Milan’s 2-0 Coppa Italia victory over Bari. Christian Pulisic is available and will be crucial to Milan’s attacking threat after recovering from an ankle injury sustained during pre-season. He completed the full 90 minutes in the season opener.
Luka Modric is also expected to start for Milan. The 39-year-old Croatian maestro made his Serie A debut against Cremonese and brings experience to Allegri’s midfield alongside new signings Ardon Jashiri and Samuele Ricci.
