Milan are heading into Saturday’s derby at 20:45 with a decision that could attract attention. According to the indications emerging before the match, Ruben Amorim is leaning towards starting Diawara, choosing him ahead of Bartesaghi. It is an unexpected solution in the build-up to the clash with Inter, especially given the direct comparison between two young players.

The other development concerns Cisse, who is reportedly outside the coach’s plans for the match against the Nerazzurri. His expected absence changes Milan’s hierarchy and confirms that Amorim is considering an unconventional approach. The Rossoneri lineup therefore still includes several surprise choices, with Diawara in contention for a starting place and Bartesaghi initially set to begin on the bench.

Inter enter the derby on the back of three straight wins: 1-0 against Shakhtar in the Champions League, 2-1 against Fiorentina and 2-0 away to Venezia. Chivu’s team will then face Feyenoord on Tuesday 3 November at 21:00, before hosting Como on Sunday 8 November at 18:00. The immediate focus, however, remains the Milan clash.
