AC Milan's head coach Paulo Fonseca is reportedly dissatisfied with the performances of certain players and is preparing to make changes to the lineup following the international break. The coach is expected to make at least two changes to his starting XI.

Details: According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Strahinja Pavlović is set to start in Milan’s upcoming match against Udinese after the October break. Filippo Terracciano is also expected to be included in the starting lineup.

Pavlović will likely return to the central defense after sitting out the last three matches on the bench. He is set to replace either Matteo Gabbia or, more likely, Fikayo Tomori, who angered Fonseca during the recent match against Fiorentina by allowing Tammy Abraham to take the second penalty in Florence.

Noah Okafor and Samuel Chukwueze are other potential starters for Milan against Udinese next week. Reports suggest the Swiss forward is more likely to feature alongside Álvaro Morata in attack, pushing Abraham to the bench.

Reminder: There were earlier reports indicating that Milan’s players had stopped listening to their head coach. Tensions surfaced during the 1-2 loss to Fiorentina, when confusion arose among the players over who would take the penalty against David de Gea.
