AC Milan claimed just one point from their away clash against Lecce yesterday, squandering a 2-0 lead, and the mood has once again dropped significantly. Next week, there will be a meeting between Stefano Pioli and Giorgio Furlani, a report claims.
Milan collapsed in the second half, saved by VAR as Lecce scored a winner in the dying minutes of injury time. After a check, the referee disallowed the goal for a foul on Malick Thiaw, but it goes to show that things could have been even worse for the Rossoneri.
As highlighted in today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport (see photo below), Pioli’s position is not at risk for the time being. Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada were not present at Lecce yesterday but will return to Milan next week, where they will have a meeting with the manager.
The trio will discuss the situation as a whole and above all the injury struggles. The idea, therefore, is to use the international break to get to the bottom of the many injuries suffered this season. In total, there have been 24 in the last four months and that is beyond any acceptable level.
Milan believe that getting the injury situation under control is the main priority, as it’s clearly affecting the Rossoneri on the pitch. Pioli continues to enjoy the full faith of the management, having shown that the team can do well with the key players available, but it’s also true that something needs to change.
