This weekend’s game against Juventus is the biggest test for AC Milan in the opening fixtures, and Ruben Amorim could react accordingly.
It’s been a perfect start for Milan so far, both in terms of points and performances. Alphadjo Cisse’s launch has delivered some good signs, but he is not alone in that category. Of course, the points on the board will be the biggest sign of things working so far, though.

Six from six is a great start for Amorim and the Rossoneri project, but they must now convince against Juventus too, if they are to compete for the Scudetto.
Amorim expected to make changes
As MilanVibes writes this afternoon, Amorim could shift his attacking midfielders to a more ‘starting’ pair. Indeed, it would see Cisse and Loftus-Cheek move to the bench, allowing Alexis Saelemaekers and Adrien Rabiot to start.
Both have proven to be highly influential so far this season – Gazzetta dello Sport even wrote that Rabiot could decide the game against his former team if he starts – so they will hope to continue that in an early six-pointer.

Christian Pulisic is expected to get minutes from the bench, too. So, this is something to also consider. Whether it means Cisse will move to the right as a substitute is something else entirely, but it seems Amorim is ready to unleash the starters.
