"Allegri cannot have enjoyed his Friday night, as Milan dropped more points against a newly-promoted side in a 2-2 draw against Pisa. Rafael Leao's goal early on made it a perfect start, but Juan Cuadrado and M'Bala Nzola then turned the game on its head. Nzola's goal looked like being the winner given it came in the closing stages, yet Zachary Athekame was the unexpected late rescuer of a draw for Milan,"
"We knew the schedule until the next break had some tough matches, but they're all tough and difficult. We made life difficult for ourselves even on Friday against Pisa: we could have done better. It's important to focus on tomorrow's match. Tomorrow we'll have Loftus-Cheek back. Before the Parma game, we'll have Pulisic and Estupinan back. We hope they'll be available for Roma, so we can then tackle the post-break period with a fully-fledged squad.We have a limited number of players, but they're enough to tackle these games until the break."
AC Milan drew 2-2 with newly-promoted Pisa after Rafael Leao opened the scoring, but Juan Cuadrado and M'Bala Nzola turned the match around before a late Zachary Athekame long-range strike rescued a draw. The result cost Milan top spot as Napoli and Roma won. A congested schedule follows with Atalanta away then Roma at San Siro. Massimiliano Allegri defended Santiago Gimenez despite goal drought and expressed high expectations for Rafael Leao. Several players are nearing returns, including Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic and Estupinan, and Nkunku is improving after a finger injury. Squad depth is limited but considered sufficient until the break.
