Some good news has emerged from Milanello in view of AC Milan’s penultimate game of the season against Genoa.
In predictably chaotic Serie A fashion, it is still not certain whether the game at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris will be played on Sunday or Monday, due to uncertainty surrounding the Rome derby. However, Milan know one thing: they need to win in Genoa for their top four hopes.

Key duo back
After Sunday’s disappointing defeat against Atalanta and yesterday’s first day of training, the retreat imposed by Massimiliano Allegri and his staff officially began today at Milanello, according to MilanNews.
The team will be called upon to show pride and character to avoid throwing away 10 months of work, especially since fourth place – which would mean qualification for next season’s Champions League – is seriously at risk.
Good news has arrived from the treatment room at the training ground ahead of the next match against Genoa. Allegri can breathe a huge sigh of relief as both Christian Pulisic and Davide Bartesaghi trained with the team today.
Considering the suspensions Rafael Leao and Pervis Estupinan will serve for having reached the threshold of yellow cards accumulated, these two recoveries ahead of the match at the Ferraris are invaluable.
Will we see Gimenez-Pulisic or Nkunku-Gimenez up front? I thought Gimenez provided great hold-up play but Nkunku was inspired. My guess is that Nkunku gets the nod.
Let’s hope that Milan come out breathing fire and not somnabulent like they have the last 5-6 games.
Allegri should go at the end of the season. He is not what Milan need to progress to the top of Europe.
They should have signed De Zerbi instead with Milan experience and heart.
Instead the executive group go for looking backwards and not forward and for the future growth.
Replacing the executives is a must.
What if Pulisic plays as the center attacking mid to link to whatever duo plays up front in a 4-4-2 or 3-5-2.
I thought he could excel in that position also. Think he would be good at it
Milan is losing this match and they won’t be in CL.
Why can’t we just go back to 4-2-3-1?

Pulisic Leao
Gimenez
There’s no reason not to play Nkunku Gimenez Pulisic then. Other than our manager being a complete coward.
