Football Italia are reporting that Stefano Pioli is planning to switch up the attacking trident against Bologna this weekend. AC Milan's no. 9 Piatek has been extremely disappointing this season only managing 1 goal from open play and it looks likely for new signing Rafael Leao will replace him at the helm of the attack.

Leao had a bright start with Milan scoring a beauty against Fiorentina in a 3-1 loss but seems to be struggling under the pressure. The Portugal U-21 international has looked more fluid than Leao and seems like he can have more of an impact than the Poland international.
