Allegri previews Fiorentina-Milan and confirms Modric will be rested: "Tough road ahead"
"We wished Fofana the very best because it's his birthday. He also played rather well in the game, but unfortunately slipped. These things happen. The player's value is still important. He has done well so far and will continue to do so."
"Nkunku is skilled and ready to play. Modric is unlikely to play, but he will be on the bench with us. We have recovered quite well. We will face a Fiorentina side that's getting back to fitness. The standings don't reflect the team's strength. After the win against Cremonese and the draw with Lazio, we will find ourselves in a tough environment. It will be important to play well, both technically and physically. It's disappointing not to have won against Genoa, but it will be an important point. Fiorentina are a team with excellent technical quality. They have had some seasons where they have struggled, but they are coming out of it. We need to put in a good performance to follow up on the results we are getting."
Luka Modric is expected to be rested and available on the bench for the upcoming away match. Christopher Nkunku is fit and ready to play. Fofana celebrated his birthday, produced a solid performance but suffered a slip; his value to the team remains significant. Milan aim to respond after a disappointing draw with Genoa and seek to perform strongly both technically and physically. Fiorentina have begun to recover form and possess excellent technical quality, making the match tougher than recent results indicate. Refereeing in Italy is acknowledged as challenging, with VAR referenced.
