"Massimiliano Allegri has already decided the front two that will start against Pisa on Friday night: Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), the coach will rely on the attacking duo that turned Sunday's match against Fiorentina around in the second half. If Milan are now looking down on everyone in the table, and have a chance to go four points clear (temporarily), it is thanks to them."
"Gimenez earned the penalty that put Milan ahead, while Leao levelled things with a lovely solo goal before converting his penalty. The Mexican and the Portuguese will be the ones to launch the assault on Pisa, but this time together from the start. Allegri has Nkunku back after the toe problem he suffered with France and he will be on the bench, ready to come on if needed."
"Next week, Christian Pulisic will undergo an MRI scan to check the right thigh hamstring he injured in the United States match played on the 14th in Commerce City, Colorado. For now, there's no open discussion about the possibility of him accelerating his recovery time (returning after the break), but there's hope that the 'low-grade' injury will allow him to be available in Parma on November 8th."
Massimiliano Allegri will start Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez up front against Pisa, deploying the pair who overturned the Fiorentina result in the second half. Gimenez earned the penalty that put Milan ahead and Leao levelled with a solo goal before converting his penalty. Nkunku is back from a toe problem and will be on the bench. Leao will not be confined to centre-forward and will have freedom to roam across the attack. Christian Pulisic will undergo an MRI for a right thigh hamstring injury with hopes of returning by November 8th. Gimenez seeks his first Serie A goal this season.
