Milan coach Stefano Pioli is pondering a tactical switch for the upcoming Europa League return leg with Roma at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Rossoneri will look to overturn the initial result from the first leg in Milan (0-1 in Roma’s advantage) in a packed Stadio Olimpico – over 66,000 fans are expected to be in attendance.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pioli wants to put Milan in a better position to score the ball and is therefore ready to have Olivier Giroud come off the bench.

In the Frenchman’s place, Samuel Chukwueze is reportedly ready to start in an attacking trio alongside Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic.
