The January window is fast approaching and AC Milan need to make some reinforcement amid the injury crisis. However, the midfield is not one of the priorities despite Ismael Bennacer’s situation, a report claims.
Tommaso Pobega recently sustained an injury and will be out for four months, while Bennacer is expected to take part in the AFCON with Algeria in January. This leaves Milan rather exposed in that department, but no reinforcement is expected next month.
According to Antonio Vitiello in his editorial for MilanNews, the Rossoneri are fully focused on reinforcing the defence amid the centre-back crisis. Luka Jovic’s recent success has also made the No.9 position less urgent, but it remains a position that could be reinforced.
There are no signings planned for the midfield, though, as the journalist states. This means the manager will have to rely a lot on Yacine Adli, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Yunus Musah and Tjjani Reijnders in Bennacer’s absence.
In the potential period that Bennacer could be missing, Milan will take on the likes of Roma, Udinese, Bologna, Frosinone and Napoli. Of course, everything will depend on how far Algeria will make it in the tournament, with the final taking place on the same day as the Napoli clash.
