French internationals Mike Maignan, Théo Hernandez and Olivier Giroud start with AC Milan against Frosinone, this Saturday in Serie A. The French team striker remains on a missed penalty against Bologna last week.

Snagged by Bologna (2-2) last week, AC Milan must absolutely win at Frosinone, 14th in Serie A, this Saturday afternoon (kick-off 6 p.m., live on beIN Sports 4). The Rossoneri can return to the title race as the top two, Inter and Juventus, face each other on Sunday!

Stefano Pioli lines up his typical team, with Olivier Giroud up front, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic on the wings as well as Ruben Loftus-Cheek in 10. Mike Maignan, Théo Hernandez and Yacine Adli are also in the starting lineup.

Giroud in doubt

Giroud is expected to turn the corner after missing a penalty last weekend, in addition to being very discreet during his 60 minutes of play (before being replaced by Luka Jovic). Théo Hernandez also missed the opportunity to score from the penalty point against the Bolognese.

The 37-year-old striker has 10 goals and 7 assists in the league and also has one goal and two assists in the Champions League. Eliminated from the C1 in the PSG group, AC Milan will challenge Stade Rennais in the Europa League play-offs.
