"This week has made Massimiliano Allegri think about his frontline again, just as it seemed he would be given the chance to move forward with AC Milan. Ahead of the Inter game, a lot was said about Milan and their strike partnership. Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic, traditionally two wingers, led the line together. It is the ideal combo for Allegri, and it was hoped that it could be the start of something."
"In midweek, the American reported an injury and he has been left 'disappointed' at the fact that he will not be able to play this weekend, which is frustrating, all things considered. However, no risks will be taken. Seven again, or eight? This weekend, then, it will be Leao and someone, and it seems Christopher Nkunku is the most likely choice at this moment. As Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews) writes, this would be the second instance of this partnership."
Massimiliano Allegri faces a frontline rethink after Christian Pulisic suffered a midweek injury and will miss the upcoming match. Pulisic described the situation as 'disappointed', but the club will avoid taking risks with his recovery. The derby pairing of Rafael Leao and Pulisic had been seen as an ideal combination, following a 100-day period during which different injuries disrupted prior partnerships. Christopher Nkunku appears the most likely partner for Leao, with Ruben Loftus-Cheek as an alternative. Seven prior strike partnerships produced mixed results, and another new combination would mark the eighth pairing of the season.
