AC Milan are back in league action this evening against Torino away from home

AC Milan are back in league action this evening against Torino away from home, and they are looking to right the wrongs after Tuesday’s Champions League exit.

Milan’s aggregate defeat to Feyenoord has left just one major mission to try and salvage the season which is to get into the top four, and they cannot afford to drop many more points if they are to achieve that aim.

Sergio Conceicao said in his pre-match press conference that every game must be treated like a final from now until the end of the season, and a tricky test against Torino awaits given they have lost just once in 2025.

The predicted starting XIs
Milan will be without Emerson Royal, Alessandro Florenzi, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Luka Jovic and Kyle Walker for the game, with all of them out due to injury.

La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) predicts a back four of Alex Jimenez, Malick Thiaw, Strahinja Pavlovic and Theo Hernandez in front of the goalkeeper Mike Maignan.

Youssouf Fofana should get some more rest meaning Yunus Musah and Tijjani Reijnders occupy the double pivot. Christian Pulisic, Joao Felix and Rafael Leao should operate behind Santiago Gimenez, meaning the ‘Fantastic Four’ will be fielded again.

The Rossoneri are desperate for a win against the Granata as they aim to finish the campaign in the top four and qualify for the Champions League.

Kyle Walker is injured for the Rossoneri and will miss the game alongside Alessandro Florenzi, Emerson Royal and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.

There are still some line-up doubts concerning the Rossoneri starting with Fikayo Tomori and Malick Thiaw fighting for a spot at centre-back.

Youssouf Fofana is expected to start on the bench again unless Conceiçao decides to bench Joao Felix or Christian Pulisic. In this case Fofana would join Yunus Musah and Tijjani Reijnders in central midfield.

Gimenez is expected to start up front while Alex Jimenez will replace Walker at right-back.

Torino are without the suspended Adam Masina and the injured Perr Schuurs, Duvan Zapata, Alieu Nije, Adrien Tameze and Ivan Ilic.

Predicted Milan XI (4-2-3-1): Maignan; Jimenez, Tomori, Pavlovic, Theo; Fofana, Reijnders; Pulisic, Felix, Leao; Gimenez.

Predicted Torino XI (4-2-3-1): Milinkovic-Savic; Walukiewicz, Maripan, Coco, Biraghi; Ricci, Casadei; Lazaro Vlasic, Karamoh; Adams.
