"Lazio and AC Milan will face off for the second time in five days, this time in the Coppa Italia last-16 and at the Stadio Olimpico. To say that there were fireworks at San Siro on Saturday night would be an understatement. Rafael Leao got the only goal as Milan won 1-0 to move back top, but the late penalty drama has dominated the headlines since, with Lazio feeling they were robbed of a spot kick despite the VAR check."
"Christian Pulisic returned to training on Tuesday but is not a guarantee to feature. At best he will make the bench and therefore play a part in the game, but there is also a chance that he is left out. Zachary Athekame will remain out for a few more weeks yet, and the cup game will be too early for Santiago Gimenez, who is on the path to returning."
Lazio and AC Milan meet in the Coppa Italia last-16 at the Stadio Olimpico on Thursday, December 4, kick-off 21:00 CET. Rafael Leao scored the only goal as Milan won 1-0 at San Siro five days earlier, and a late penalty controversy with VAR decision has intensified tensions. Daniele Doveri is the referee with Pezzuto on VAR. Milan view the Coppa Italia as a major target after two decades without the trophy. Christian Pulisic returned to training but is not guaranteed to play. Santiago Gimenez remains unavailable as he recovers from an ankle issue. Allegri faces selection dilemmas amid a limited squad.
