"In the Milan squad, if there were two players that you wanted to consistently play together, it would be Leao and Pulisic. They are the stars which the team can rely on for goals, and whilst they have thrived alone, their chances together have been occasional. Injuries have stopped them from combining as often as most would have liked. Hopefully, though, the end of the tunnel is near."
"If this is the case, it would be a nice gift for Massimiliano Allegri, who has struggled to find them together. Of course, the idea to play them both in the middle is his idea, and so far, he has not been able to fully reap the rewards of his genius. As Gazzetta puts it, the 'strange couple' are set to return, and they want to impress."
AC Milan have sought to play Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao together regularly but injuries have limited their joint appearances. The pair have only shared 136 Serie A minutes together, yet both have scored in that time and average a goal every 68 minutes when paired. Christopher Nkunku remains injured and Niclas Fullkrug is not ready to start, creating an opening for the duo. San Siro could host their reunion against Genoa after 24 days apart. Massimiliano Allegri favors deploying both centrally and hopes to benefit from their combined attacking threat.
