Adrien Rabiot returns to central midfield for Milan against Lazio

AC Milan midfielder Adrien Rabiot is moving back to a central midfield role for the match against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico. After primarily serving as a trequartista under head coach Ruben Amorim, Rabiot will pair with Luka Modric for this fixture. The adjustment comes as part of a series of tactical changes to the starting lineup, which also features Alphadjo Cisse and Ruben Loftus-Cheek in support of forward Goncalo Ramos. Yunus Musah moves to the bench as Amorim seeks to balance the team's midfield requirements. Rabiot, who joined the squad later than his teammates due to international commitments at the World Cup, continues to work toward full match fitness. He previously made his first start for the club during a 1-1 draw against Juventus earlier this season. Milan kicks off the match in Rome at 17.00 UK time today.
