"Milan dropped points against a lowly team again. Fiorentina may or may not deserve to be in a relegation spot but Milan have not approached such games well in a long time. A mostly poor Milan only managed to salvage a draw courtesy of a late Nkunku goal. The recently dubbed flop scored in his third Serie A goal since late December."
"The team remains in flux with players going in and out of the injured list. Luckily recent injuries have turned out to be short terms ones. Pavlovic will miss this match after getting nine stitches but has apparently escaped concussion after his head injury against Fiorentina. Fullkrug was reported to have a broken toe and was in danger after of missing weeks but that was later changed to day to day. The German could be back at the weekend or next week."
"Of course this limits Allegri's options. For now, unless the 3-5-2 changes, the only defensive option is De Winter. Athekame and Odogu are not starters yet. This also means Saelemaekers is playing to the point of exhaustion. The Belgian will start for now. Fofana is preferred beside the right wing back. Modric, Rabiot and Bartesghi should complete the first choice midfield. Leao and Pulisic are the likeliest to start together with only Nkunku the available option on the bench."
The match was originally scheduled in Perth, Australia but plans to move a domestic league game abroad faced strong opposition and a similar initiative in Spain. The trip was cancelled amid Asian confederation demands and political issues. Milan dropped points again against a lowly team, managing a draw only through a late Nkunku goal, his third Serie A goal since late December. The squad remains in flux with frequent injuries. Pavlovic will miss the match after receiving nine stitches but avoided concussion. Fullkrug's broken toe was downgraded to day-to-day. Limited defensive options constrain Allegri's tactical choices. Como has risen under Cesc Fabregas with heavy Djarum Group investment, but stadium size raises sustainability concerns.
