There hasn’t been a ton of unforced rotation to the Milan side as of late, as Gennaro Gattuso has pretty much solidified his best XI and just rolled with it.
Suso was suspended for the match against Empoli on Friday, meaning that Samu Castillejo got the start on the right wing. Andrea Conti also got a rare start at right back, but it appears that the regular starters will get a chance to shine in the Coppa Italia semi-final against Lazio on Tuesday.
