AC Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri has chosen his starting XI for the match against Parma at the Stadio Tardini.
Pending results from Napoli, Roma and Inter – all of whom play on Sunday – Milan have the chance to regain top spot in the table. However, he It promises to be a difficult match against a Parma team dropping out to stay out of the bottom three, with the Cremonese and Pisa games reminding them of that.
The treatment room was almost empty for Milan after spending the last few matches in crisis. Christian Pulisic resumed full training during the week and is in the squad, so Adrien Rabiot and Santiago Gimenez are the only absences.

Allegri has named a three-man defense unchanged from the Roma game, with Koni De Winter keeping his place as Fikayo Tomori is not yet fit enough to start. Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic complete the trio ahead of Mike Maignan.
Alexis Saelemaekers is at right-back and the big news is the return of Pervis Estupinan on the other side. They flank Youssouf Fofana, Luka Modric and Samuele Ricci who form the midfield trio.
