The international break is in full swing and it’s a necessary one for AC Milan, who have struggled big time in the last few weeks. There are several questions to answer and this was highlighted by a newspaper this morning.
In addition to the poor run of form, the injury struggles have not exactly improved. Rafael Leao will miss at least the Fiorentina game, while Olivier Giroud has been suspended for two games. For Pioli, therefore, these are tough times.
The international break, therefore, must be used to solve the injury struggles as well as recover those who already are on the sidelines.

Gazzetta dello Sport highlighted the main dilemmas on their front page this morning: “Milan and trouble. Adli has disappeared, two-game ban for Giroud.”
Inside the newspaper, the topics were further discussed, starting with the heavy absences in the upcoming games: “Giroud: two-game ban. He will be back against Atalanta. Leao is also out against Fiorentina. Pioli emergency, replacing the Frenchman is mission impossible.”
The outcasts, with a particular focus on Yacine Adli, were also highlighted in the main feature: “The forgotten ones. Adli the regista who doesn’t direct any more. Pellegrino and Romero unknowns at Milan.”
