"Twice in the past few days AC Milan's unbeaten run looked like ending against a team in the bottom five places, but late equalisers salvaged draws. As MilanNews write, January started well for Milan with a 1-0 victory away from home against Cagliari, though Massimiliano Allegri's side were far from their free-flowing best. Since then, draws against Genoa at home and Fiorentina away have followed, two sides battling relegation."
"The team's driving forces, the key players, are almost all experiencing poor form. Alexis Saelemaekers, Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot are indispensable players for Allegri, but each of them, for different reasons, are not at 100% fitness. The Belgian is always a starter on the right because he does not have an able deputy. For this reason, given his very demanding physical role, it would undoubtedly be necessary to rest him for at least one match."
AC Milan opened January with a 1-0 away win at Cagliari but then settled for draws at home to Genoa and away to Fiorentina after late equalisers. Both subsequent matches featured stoppage-time drama with opponents nearly scoring immediately after being equalised. Key contributors Alexis Saelemaekers, Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot are below peak fitness for different reasons, including hamstring, adductor and soleus issues and cumulative fatigue. Saelemaekers lacks a reliable deputy and plays heavy minutes, rotation has not fully solved fatigue, and Allegri generally avoids making many changes.
