AC Milan face a crucial Europa League game against Ferencváros on Thursday night, following their derby win over Inter. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that coach Amorim plans to rotate his squad to keep players fresh, having welcomed back some players before the derby. The team is expected to make several changes, with Lorenzo Torriani set to start in goal due to Mike Maignan's suspension. Other potential changes include Sankhoun Diawara in central defence and Ardon Jashari in a Modrić-like role in midfield.

Milan's current standing in the Europa League is 24th with three points, behind Ferencváros who have a perfect record of nine points. La Gazzetta dello Sport notes that Milan need a win to improve their position, although they won't catch Ferencváros even with a victory. The report highlights that Milan's schedule is challenging, having already faced Benfica and Bournemouth, with the latter match being affected by two penalties and Maignan's red card.

Amorim's planned rotation is expected to continue the adjustments made to the squad to manage resources. La Gazzetta dello Sport suggests that Alphadjo Cissé will return to the starting lineup, having been the team's top scorer in the competition with three goals. Other potential starters include Omari Hutchinson, who has shown promise in recent games, and potentially Christian Comotto, with Francesco Camarda and Goncalo Ramos also being candidates to lead the line.
