GdS: Allegri keeping reserves 'on their toes' - valuable minutes shared out in Verona win
"Massimiliano Allegri was able to give some minutes to some of the less-used players during AC Milan's win over Verona. La Gazzetta dello Sport recall the final half-hour of the eventual 3-0 victory that objectively had little to offer, so Allegri used the opportunity to play just about everyone. It became useful to give some minutes to those who haven't had many so far this season."
"Jashari recently returned from a compound fracture of his fibula, which kept him out for three months. The Swiss came back against Lazio and in Riyadh against Napoli. On Sunday he came on, playing a good 20 minutes, a long pass, and a few good runs. The feeling is that he still needs a couple of weeks to get back into shape and gain confidence."
"Odogu, on the other hand, is a 2006-born player with very little experience behind him: just three appearances for Wolfsburg's senior side before landing at Milanello. Allegri is slowly introducing him, not believing he's ready yet and doesn't want to waste him. It's another different story for Athekame. Igli Tare really likes him and wanted him strongly, but Allegri is using him sparingly."
Allegri used the final half-hour of a 3-0 win over Verona to give minutes to several less-used AC Milan players. David Odogu made his Serie A debut, appearing for eight minutes including stoppage time. Ardon Jashari returned from a compound fibula fracture and played about 20 useful minutes but still needs weeks to regain full fitness and confidence. Odogu, born in 2006, has minimal senior experience and is being introduced cautiously. Zachary Athekame is highly regarded by Igli Tare but has featured sparingly and battled a calf injury. Samuele Ricci has made the most appearances and is studying Modric to develop further.
