"It was at the end of the game against Cremonese that Bartesaghi had to come off with a muscle problem. The timing couldn't have been any worse with the derby coming up, but thankfully the tests ruled out any serious issues. As such, the left-back was able to train with the rest of the squad yesterday, getting some much-needed steps in ahead of the big game."
"Massimiliano Allegri is having to deal with the absence of Matteo Gabbia, who has been a leader at the back this season. That leaves just three centre-backs for the back three (if we exclude David Odogu), but here is where Bartesaghi comes in. Indeed, while it seems Pervis Estupinan is currently ahead for the left wing-back spot, Bartesaghi will offer depth on the bench."
Davide Bartesaghi sustained a muscle problem during AC Milan's match against Cremonese but has recovered in time for the Derby della Madonnina. Medical tests ruled out serious injury, allowing him to train with the squad. While he may not start, his availability is strategically important. With Matteo Gabbia absent and only three centre-backs available, Bartesaghi provides essential depth. He can cover the left wing-back position if Pervis Estupinan needs replacement or shift to the back three if defensive injuries occur. His return strengthens Milan's defensive options despite uncertain starting status.
