"Ahead of the game against Roma, Massimiliano Allegri admitted that he doesn't know exactly what to expect from fielding Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku together in attack. Due to the injury crisis, Allegri has made several forced starting eleven decisions in the last few weeks. Tomorrow, as Milan will take on Roma, the manager will have to make at least one change compared to the eleven we saw against Atalanta mid-week."
"Indeed, Santiago Gimenez has been more or less ruled out due to an ankle injury, which didn't exactly come at a good time for the Mexican. As such, it will either be Christopher Nkunku or Ruben Loftus-Cheek alongside Rafael Leao in attack. Having arrived for a hefty amount of €37m in the summer, it's time for Nkunku to start delivering and Leao, despite a positive period recently, still has some questions to answer."
Milan will face Roma with an ongoing injury crisis forcing at least one change to the starting eleven. Santiago Gimenez is largely ruled out with an ankle injury, leaving forward options limited. The likely attacking combinations are Rafael Leao paired with either Christopher Nkunku or Ruben Loftus-Cheek. Questions remain over how Leao and Nkunku will combine, although both players possess technical ability and could form an effective partnership. Nkunku arrived in the summer for €37m and is expected to start delivering more consistent performances. Gimenez and Nkunku have struggled at times this season, increasing pressure on the chosen duo to produce goals.
