It looked as though AC Milan might get through the international break with some players recovered and no further injuries, but now they head into the Juventus game with a list of absentees.
As MilanNews reports, it was known before the break that Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez would not be available for the Juve game. The former got a red card in the win over Genoa, while the latter got a yellow card which took him to the suspension threshold of five.
Earlier today, Milan confirmed that Marco Sportiello has suffered a problem with his left calf. The goalkeeper will have to observe a period of ten days of rest after which the evolution of his condition will be evaluated with a new MRI.
Yesterday the club announced that Samuel Chukwueze returned early from Nigeria duty with a hamstring injury and he is expected to be out for a month.
Their names are added to a list which already features Mattia Caldara and Ismael Bennacer, who are continuing their recovery from respective surgeries.
The presence of Pierre Kalulu, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rade Krunic is still in doubt but there is positivity that they can at least be on the bench.
