Fofana out vs. Lazio with muscle strain as Sala gets call-up - Allegri's words
"Youssouf Fofana has been a mainstay for AC Milan this season, but he will miss the Coppa Italia game tomorrow night with an injury. There has been a lot said about Fofana this season and his performances. However, he has been one of Massimiliano Allegri's most-used players, and the Italian has a lot of trust in the Frenchman, regardless of what others may think."
"Against Lazio, though, he will be sidelined with a knock, as Allegri told MilanTV early in his pre-game interview. "Pulisic is available, Fofana isn't, and we hope to have him against Sassuolo. Athekame isn't, and Gimenez isn't either, and he's working on his return. "I need all the players, and it's important for everyone to be available. The further we go, the more important substitutions become.""
Youssouf Fofana has been a mainstay in AC Milan's lineup and one of Massimiliano Allegri's most-used midfielders this season. He will miss the Coppa Italia match against Lazio due to a knock and is expected to be back by the Sassuolo fixture. Allegri confirmed that Christian Pulisic is available, while Athekame and Gimenez remain unavailable. Paulo Fonseca also relied heavily on Fofana last season, and Allegri's consistent selection reflects trust in the player's ability to improve. Ruben Loftus-Cheek is likely to start as a dynamic box-crasher, and Emanuele Sala could receive an opportunity after signing a new contract.
