Bournemouth vs Milan starting lineups confirmed

Milan head to a tough Europa League trip at Bournemouth with Alphadjo Cisse, Diego Moreira and Omari Hutchinson in the starting eleven. The match kicks off at 20.00 UK time, which is 21.00 Central European Summer Time, at the Vitality Stadium.

Milan, under head coach Ruben Amorim, are showing signs of recovery after a slow start to the season. The Rossoneri won 4-0 away at RB Salzburg and beat Atalanta 3-2 at the weekend. Before that run, the team had lost 2-0 at home to Benfica.

Cisse, who scored a hat-trick in Salzburg, spent the Atalanta match on the bench. The young player will play as a false nine on his 20th birthday. Goncalo Ramos, Samuel Chukwueze, Alexis Saelemaekers and Matteo Gabbia are not in the squad because of injury. Hutchinson will support Cisse, while Moreira and Ruben Loftus-Cheek will play on the wings. Filippo Terracciano is suspended after the red card he received in the Salzburg match.

Bournemouth finished sixth in the Premier League last season, three points behind Liverpool. This season they picked up their first league win at the weekend against Sunderland. In the Europa League, they had beaten Real Sociedad 2-1 away and Sturm Graz 3-0 at home. Alex Scott, who is the subject of a transfer battle between Chelsea and Manchester City, is out with a thigh injury suffered on England duty. Eli Junior Kroupi will also miss the match.
