"This time against Genoa, a team in the bottom half fighting off a relegation threat. The script is familiar. A mostly poor Milan conceded a goal with amateurish defending, for which Gabbia later took responsibility. The team then tried to rectify it later in the match totaling over 30 shots directed at Nicola Leali(with eight on target). The game was inches away from a win but Pulisic was rightly, or almost rightly, judged to have handled the ball on its way to the net."
"Thank the schedule makers that a team fighting on only one front, the Serie A, has to play a game less than 72 hours before the next. Allegri had opted against rotation versus Genoa. This game may include a few changes. It is thought that Modric could be rested with Ricci getting the start. Loftus-Cheek should get a start ahead of the mind bogglingly ineffective Fofana."
The match ended with Milan dropping points after conceding to Genoa due to amateurish defending for which Gabbia took responsibility. Milan produced over thirty shots at Nicola Leali, eight on target, but a contested Pulisic handball close to the line prevented a likely win. Leao salvaged a point in second-half added time. Referees ignored contacts on Fullkrug and Athekame, while Maurizio Mariani awarded a questionable penalty that Nicolae Stanciu missed. Milan faces a short turnaround of less than 72 hours before the next Serie A fixture. Allegri may rest Modric, start Ricci and Loftus-Cheek, and replace suspended Tomori with De Winter; Nkunku should be available from the bench. Fiorentina replaced Pioli with Paolo Vanoli after a poor start to the season.
