"Massimiliano Allegri constantly repeats it: AC Milan's goal is to finish the season in the top four. However, there are reasons to dream bigger. The table shows Milan two points behind league leaders Roma, thus ahead of those who began the season as the two favourites to contend for the Scudetto, namely Inter and Napoli. The fact that the Rossoneri have beat all the other teams in the top five is another strong positive signal."
"A coach, however, must be prepared for all eventualities: if the Belgian were to miss the game, considering Zachary Athekame's injury (out for about a month) there is not a natural right-back in the ranks. Christopher Nkunku, on the other hand, would provide an alternative to the American up front. If he were to start though - with Santiago Gimenez's ankle still sore - there would not be an attacking option on the bench."
AC Milan are two points behind league leaders Roma and sit ahead of pre-season favourites Inter and Napoli, having beaten all other teams in the top five. The squad carries only 19 outfield players, raising concerns over depth and endurance across the season. Recent training setbacks affected Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic, requiring monitoring ahead of Lazio. A right-back absence could emerge if Saelemaekers misses matches while Zachary Athekame remains injured. Christopher Nkunku can cover forward roles but his start would leave the bench light in attacking options. January reinforcements are anticipated.
