"AC Milan have to make do without their galloping midfielder, Adrien Rabiot, when they play Como next. However, replacing him is not so simple. Since Rabiot's arrival, Milan have been a much better team. Perhaps unfortunately, the stats also show this. Before he arrived and while he was injured, the Rossoneri's points-per-game statistics dropped. So, Massimiliano Allegri, who clearly has a lot of love for the Frenchman, is being forced to do without the Frenchman."
"Calciomercato.com reports that there are three possible solutions to replace him. The first would see Samuele Ricci return to the midfield three, and this is seen as the 'most obvious' choice, understandably. However, it is not the only one. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has recently been leading the line, but with returns, he could drop back into a midfield role, whilst offering a similar offensive threat as Rabiot does when available."
"Finally, Allegri could allow Jashari to play in a more advanced role alongside Luka Modric, rather than instead of him. Of course, the Swiss is a fantastic passer of the ball, and whilst he may not be as dynamic as Rabiot, he could certainly offer a lot to the team going forward. It is certainly a big decision to make in a big game."
Adrien Rabiot will be absent for AC Milan's match against Como. Rabiot's arrival improved Milan's performances and the team's points-per-game fell when he was not available due to injury. Massimiliano Allegri must choose a replacement for a key midfield role. Calciomercato.com identifies three options. Samuele Ricci could return to the midfield three as the most obvious choice. Ruben Loftus-Cheek could drop back from a forward role into midfield, supplying a comparable offensive threat. Jashari could play in a more advanced position alongside Luka Modric, offering excellent passing even if less dynamic than Rabiot. The choice is significant for a big game.
