Massimiliano Allegri is expected to make three changes to the starting XI against Fiorentina, following the swift recovery of Alexis Saelemaekers.
As a result of the international break, Milan have lost some key players to injuries. Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot have been ruled out for a month, while Pervis Estupinan and Christopher Nkunku have been ruled out for tomorrow’s game.

In short, Allegri has been forced to rethink his tactics for Sunday’s game against Fiorentina. At the very least, Alexis Saelemaekers has made a swift recovery from the injury he sustained with Belgium, meaning he will be available tomorrow.
Three changes expected
According to MilanNews, the winger is even expected to play from the first minute, meaning Zachary Athekame won’t get the chance from start after all. Samuele Ricci, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Rafael Leao will thus be the only changes from the Juventus clash.
Predicted Milan XI (3-5-1-1): Maignan; Tomori, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Saelemaekers, Fofana, Modric, Ricci, Bartesaghi; Loftus-Cheek; Leao.
A lot of responsibility will fall on Leao to lead the attack, but since he has struggled to find form in the last few weeks, he’s a big question mark. Santiago Gimenez will be on the bench and could perhaps be brought on during the game, but he hasn’t exactly impressed massively either.
Three Italians!
Stop the lights!
So RLC is out…..soooooo…Pulisic is out…..So Rabbiot is out….Soooooooo…Jashari is out…..Soo Estohpunanian is out…Nkunku is ooooout….Gimenez fatigued…all things considered…Salad will be out by game end…
Wouldn’t Vlahovic be worth 12 million right now plus that 20 to 25 million fee they wanted…I tell you he would…
This is how you learn why money waaaaaalks and bullsnick talks….bunch of cheaper salaries because the money doesn’t pay out when you need it to be a cash cow, right when it is needed most…the real deal shows you it is just Teemu counterfeit..
Reliability comes at a price, you will pay for either by having it or even steeper one when you don’t.
Wouldn’t having a Theo at 80 or 70% of his best, even 60 be better than the Columbian, even at twice the wage? The answer is absolutely yet. At 60%, at least he shows up and he is better than him on his worst day or anyone else in that position…you will soon see….imagine Kessie and Tonali…..they were dependable too…
too bad…the Americans keep 3 years of profit instead of three irreplaceable players…lost more money on top of it…let’s hope the free assets and cheaper players will pay off tonight..
Blame their balls, i mean money balls. They just comply to the rulebook.
It’s an eleven who definitely can beat Kean Fc without Kean but this will be an test for Leao and we’ll see but it would great if he scored for his confidence as well
