AC MILAN V TORINO: MATCH PREVIEW Jurić's Torino next up at San Siro in matchday 22 of Serie A San Siro to respond emphatically on Friday night: more than 65,000 fans are expected to help get the team back on track in the league. Against Torino, who have caused us a few problems already this season, the Rossoneri are desperate for the three points. AC Milan haven’t won a Serie A game since the beginning of January and, with just a few days to go before the Round of 16 Champions League match against Tottenham, the team is looking for a confidence boost. Let's get ready for the match with our usual preview.
LATEST FROM MILANELLO, Pioli's Rossoneri will head into the game at the end of a week of training that has included the return to the group of Zlatan Ibrahimović, who will be at the coach's disposal against the Granata. After a long period out of action, dating all the way back to May following the Scudetto victory, Ibra is finally back with the team and his contribution will be important in this vital phase of the season. Pioli is expected to name a three-man defence, a line-up already seen on Sunday night in the derby against Inter. Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Sergiño Dest, Ismaël Bennacer and Alessandro Florenzi, all remain unavailable due to injury. The final decisions for the XI, particularly those between Gabbia-Thiaw and Calabria-Saelemaekers, will be made closer to the match. Four players are close to a suspension: Calabria, Leão, Giroud and Rebić. This is what Coach Pioli had to say on the eve of the match: "Matches against Torino are always difficult because they press you all over the pitch, and it will be like that this time too.
