AC Milan beat Rennes 3-0 in the first leg of the Europa League playoff. Stefano Pioli chooses Luka Jovic as AC Milan's starting striker for the return match against Rennes.

Olivier Giroud remains at least initially on the bench ready to take over. Rennes will try to surprise the Rossoneri as coach Julien Julien also made it clear it would be a surprise to the group. Tomori and Kalulu have returned to training with the rest of their teammates although not leaving for the second leg.
