"This weekend, AC Milan were forced to make a few changes due to injury, and now Massimiliano Allegri is 'desperate'. Alexis Saelemaekers is a bit of a Swiss army knife. However, even he has limitations, and whilst they weren't massively apparent, they were noticeable against Fiorentina. So, it is hoped he can return to the flank soon. To do this, returns are needed in the team, and Allegri needs good news through the week, it seems."
"Reports this week have suggested that Christopher Nkunku and Ruben Loftus-Cheek should return before this weekend, with the latter undergoing a recovery process to get him back up to speed, given that both missed this weekend's game. However, Allegri is 'desperate' to have the Englishman back at his disposal, according to Calciomercato.com. With Saelemaekers supporting Leao, neither were truly at their best, as seen when Santiago Gimenez came on."
AC Milan made a number of forced changes due to injuries, leaving manager Massimiliano Allegri in urgent need of reinforcements. Alexis Saelemaekers provided versatility but showed limitations against Fiorentina, prompting a desire to return him to the flank once coverage is available. Christopher Nkunku and Ruben Loftus-Cheek are expected back before the weekend, with Loftus-Cheek undergoing recovery to regain full sharpness. Allegri is keen to have Loftus-Cheek available because he can occupy midfield or play alongside Rafael Leao, allowing Saelemaekers to resume wing-back duties. Samuele Ricci remains an option after a strong performance, and Loftus-Cheek's condition will be monitored closely.
