Milan vs. Lecce: Official Line-ups Revealed

Christian Pulisic earns his first start of the season as Milan hosts Lecce. Luka Modric also returns, alongside Goncalo Ramos and Alexis Saelemaekers.

The match at San Siro kicks off at 19:45 UK time (20:45 CEST).

Pulisic, who has battled fitness issues, including during the World Cup, now starts in attack supporting Goncalo Ramos. He's joined by the versatile Saelemaekers. Samuel Chukwueze is favored over Diego Moreira, with Pervis Estupinan on the opposite wing.

Lecce enters the match with six points from their first four Serie A fixtures. They secured a 3-2 victory against Monza last week.

Key absences for Lecce include Willem Geubbels, Omri Gandelman, and Medon Berisha. Tiago Gabriel is unavailable due to a neck sprain, despite recently signing a contract extension until June 2030.

Santiago Pierotti is back in Lecce's attack, playing alongside Nikola Stulic and new signing Joel Monteiro.

Lecce has struggled to score at San Siro in recent years. They haven't found the net at the stadium since a 2-2 draw in October 2019, suffering five consecutive defeats across Serie A and the Coppa Italia without scoring.

This weekend marks the 100th anniversary of San Siro's inauguration in September 1926.
