"Due to a rather strange scheduling quirk, AC Milan had the weekend off while all of their top four rivals played. On Friday, though, they return to action in Pisa. As Corriere dello Sport (via MilanPress) write this morning, Milan were not in action due to the postponement of the match against Como due to the unavailability of San Siro while the Winter Olympics is ongoing."
"The squad resumed training yesterday in preparation for Friday's match against Pisa. Massimiliano Allegri hopes to get Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic back for the trip to Tuscany, with both having been absent in Bologna. The paper claim that it should be clearer tomorrow whether the Belgian and the American will be able to return in time for the match in four days. Both of them trained individually on Sunday, having also been working on their recovery during the three-day break Allegri granted too."
"Rafael Leao, on the other hand, will almost certainly be available to start on Friday. He worked with his team-mates yesterday in a light training session to control the pubalgia that has been holding him back for a few weeks. According to the Rome-based newspaper, the Portuguese will compete for a place alongside Niclas Füllkrug to partner Christopher Nkunku, who currently seems certain of a starting spot after scoring three goals in his last four games."
AC Milan missed a weekend of fixtures because the San Siro was unavailable during the Winter Olympics, leading to the Como match postponement. The squad resumed training yesterday ahead of Friday's trip to Pisa. Massimiliano Allegri hopes Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic can return after individual training and recovery work during a three-day break. A clearer fitness update on both players should come tomorrow. Rafael Leao is expected to be available after a light session to control pubalgia. Leao will contest a starting spot with Niclas Füllkrug to partner Christopher Nkunku, who has three goals in his last four games.
