Mike Maignan becomes the fifth different player to wear the Milan captain\u2019s armband so far this season, as coach Paulo Fonseca rings radical changes against Udinese.<\/p>\n

It kicks off at San Siro at 17.00 UK time (16.00 GMT).<\/p>\n

You can follow all the build-up and action as it happens from this game and Juventus-Lazio on the Liveblog.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There had been some tension after the 2-1 defeat to Fiorentina, when the coach confirmed that Christian Pulisic should\u2019ve been on penalty duties, so both Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham went against team orders to step up.<\/p>\n

Theo Hernandez is suspended, while Abraham, Rafael Leao and Fikayo Tomori were dropped to the bench.<\/p>\n

It also means Maignan is chosen as captain, the fifth different player to wear the Milan armband so far this season.<\/p>\n

Maignan adds to list of Milan captains<\/h2>\n

Davide Calabria is currently injured and should be the first choice, while Tomori wore it in the 2-2 draw against Lazio in Week 3.<\/p>\n

Theo Hernandez was captain against Venezia, Inter, Bayer Leverkusen and Fiorentina.<\/p>\n

Rafael Leao had one go with the captaincy during the 3-0 victory over Lecce in Week 6.<\/p>\n

Alvaro Morata is the vice-captain this evening, although he only joined Milan this summer.<\/p>\n

Maignan had been tipped to become the France captain in the absence of star names, but it went to Aurelien Tchaoumanei instead.<\/p>\n
