"Late last night, news broke claiming that Loftus-Cheek could also be forced to sit out of the fixture. He complained about some muscle discomfort in the final training session and it has been diagnosed as fatigue, with a late fitness test to come on the day of the game. According to MilanNews, the Englishman is not even fit enough to take a spot on the bench, which suggests that the check-up this morning did not go well."
"In his place, Alexis Saelemaekers will operate behind Rafael Leao, and Zachary Athekame will come in at right-back. Given that Milan had just 19 outfield players to begin the season, having six injuries at once is nothing short of a nightmare. Allegri spoke about there not being any excuses because he has 'enough players' to send out there, but it certainly compromises the plans."
Massimiliano Allegri faces a significant injury crisis ahead of the game with multiple first-team players unavailable. Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot, Pervis Estupinan, Christopher Nkunku and Ardon Jashari are all absent for various reasons. Loftus-Cheek reported muscle discomfort in the final training session and the issue has been diagnosed as fatigue, with a late fitness test scheduled on match day. MilanNews reports that Loftus-Cheek is not fit enough even to occupy a bench spot. Alexis Saelemaekers will play behind Rafael Leao, and Zachary Athekame will start at right-back. The squad began the season with only 19 outfield players, increasing vulnerability.
