"During today's presser, Massimiliano Allegri responded to reports suggesting he hasn't decided between Davide Bartesaghi and Pervis Estupinan for the starting eleven against Inter. Tomorrow's derby is expected to be a big one and with two points currently separating the two teams, in favour of Inter, Milan could use the win to keep up with the top of Serie A. However, as Allegri highlighted during his press conference, the Nerazzurri are the favourites."
"When asked about it during the presser, he said that he might need both. Have you already chosen between Bartesaghi and Estupinan? Does Dumfries' absence have an impact? "It doesn't affect anything. I will have to decide today. Estupinan returned to Parma after 50 days without playing, Bartesaghi returned after two 90-minute matches with the national team, and he had a good training session yesterday. The match is long, so I might need both of them.""
The manager remains undecided between Davide Bartesaghi and Pervis Estupinan for the starting eleven against Inter. Tomorrow's derby is crucial, with Inter two points ahead and Milan needing a win to stay close to the Serie A leaders. Inter are the favourites. Dumfries' absence does not change the selection calculus. Estupinan returned to Parma after 50 days without playing, while Bartesaghi completed two full national team matches and produced a strong training session. The match is long, so both full-backs may be required. Bartesaghi's academy background and greater season-long consistency give him the likely edge.
