Team News: AC Milan unchanged for Sampdoria clash at San Siro

AC Milan manager Sinisa Mihajlovic has named an unchanged side for this evening's visit of Sampdoria to the San Siro.

Despite losing to Juventus 1-0 last weekend, Mihajlovic has kept faith with the same starting XI as they look for a victory which would take them fifth in Serie A.

That means that top scorer Carlos Bacca continues in attack alongside M'Baye Niang, while Keisuke Honda and Luiz Adriano are fit enough only for the bench.

Teenage goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, whom was touted to be worth £119m by his agent earlier this week, keeps his place in goal in the continued absence of first-choice stopper Diego Lopez.

Sampdoria boss Vincenzo Montella has made three changes to the team that were defeated by Udinese in their last outing.

Ervin Zukanovic misses out due to suspension and is replaced by Djamel Mesbah, meanwhile Niklas Moisander and Carlos Carbonero also make way, with David Ivan and Vasco Regini coming into the starting lineup.

Former Milan striker Antonio Cassano starts on the bench at the San Siro this evening.
