The Rossoneri are making their competitive debut under coach Paulo Fonseca after some surprisingly good pre-season friendly results.

Alvaro Morata just arrived after helping Spain win EURO 2024 as captain, so he is not risked in the starting XI, instead Jovic leads the way with support from Chukwueze, Pulisic in a more central trequartista role and Rafael Leao.

Having been linked with Newcastle United this summer, Malick Thiaw takes his place in the centre of defence with Davide Calabria at right-back awaiting Emerson Royal.

Alessandro Florenzi, Alex Jimenez and Marco Sportiello are injured.

Theo Hernandez is rested in favour of Alexis Saelemaekers as a makeshift left-back.

Torino are also under a new coach, as Paolo Vanoli helped Venezia earn promotion last season via the play-offs.

There is an extensive injury list, including Nikola Vlasic, Pietro Pellegri, Perr Schuurs, Gvidas Gineitis and Zanos Savva.

Duvan Zapata leads the way, with Antonio Sanabria rather than new signing Che Adams upfront.

Saul Coco makes his Serie A debut in the centre of defence.

Milan: Maignan; Calabria, Tomori, Thiaw, Saelemaekers; Bennacer, Loftus-Cheek; Chukwueze, Pulisic, Leao; Jovic

Torino: Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Coco, Masina; Bellanova, Ricci, Linetty, Ilic, Lazaro; Sanabria, Zapata
