Rabiot missed the 1-1 draw against Como due to a suspension, having received a red card in the game before. Subsequently, he will be back at Allegri’s disposal tomorrow evening, which is both crucial for the Rossoneri and also troublesome.
As we highlighted immediately after the Pisa game, the Frenchman almost has to take a yellow card against Parma to avoid missing the derby. Alternatively, Allegri could field him tomorrow and bench him against Cremonese.
In other midfield news, Allegri liked what he saw from Luka Modric and Ardon Jashari last time out, playing from start together for the first time. These were the two focus points of the newspapers this morning, as you can see below.
