"Rafael Leao and Christopher Nkunku will be the men to lead the line tonight at the Sinigaglia against Como, a report claims. As La Gazzetta dello Sport report, after training with the group on Tuesday, Leao didn't feel (much) discomfort in his right adductor and groin yesterday afternoon. Therefore, the Portuguese will be the focal point for the attack against Como."
"Pulisic played the entirety of the last two games against Genoa and Fiorentina, and since the hamstring injury he injured against the US in October occasionally makes itself felt, Max doesn't want to risk losing him for a long time. This is also because Lecce visit San Siro on Sunday, and then there is the away match against Roma on the 25th. The idea is to throw Captain America into the mix in the second half, as happened in Cagliari."
Rafael Leao is fit enough to lead Milan's attack against Como after training without notable discomfort in his right adductor and groin. Christopher Nkunku is preferred to start alongside him, with Christian Pulisic expected to be used from the bench because of recurring hamstring problems. Pulisic played full matches recently but remains at risk, so he will likely be introduced in the second half to protect his fitness ahead of upcoming fixtures. Coach Massimiliano Allegri aims to manage playing time to avoid overload and injury. Defensively, Mike Maignan will start in goal, Fikayo Tomori returns from suspension, Matteo Gabbia will play centrally, and Koni De Winter replaces injured Strahinja Pavlovic.
