Milan coach Sergio Conceiçao seemed willing to leave Theo Hernandez on the bench against Lecce, but the latest Sky Sport Italia report claims that the France star will likely start at left-back tomorrow.

The Rossoneri are travelling to Lecce where they’ll meet the Giallorossi in a vital Serie A game on Saturday.

Milan have lost the last three games in a row and find themselves 11 points below fourth-placed Juventus.

Reports on Thursday suggested Theo, Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez would start on the bench tomorrow, but according to Sky, Sergio Conceiçao has changed his mind and tested the France defender in the starting XI during today’s training.

Leao and Gimenez are still likely to be initially benched, making room for Riccardo Sottil and Tammy Abraham in attack.

Warren Bondo will make his Milan debut starting in the middle of the park alongside Tijjani Reijnders.Mike Maignan will serve a one-game ban and be replaced by Marco Sportiello between the sticks.
