"AC Milan will close our the round of Serie A action on Tuesday night with a potentially tricky trip to face Bologna. Milan go into the game at the Stadio Renato dall'Ara under pressure to win with Inter, Napoli and Juventus all getting three points over the weekend. Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic have not made the trip to Emilia with both battling muscle issues."
"As a consquence, Allegri tested and has opted to use the unprecedented front two of Ruben Loftus-Cheek just behind Christopher Nkunku. Zachary Athekame comes in on the right side for Saelemaekers, his first league start, with Davide Bartesaghi on the other side. Adrien Rabiot, Luka Modric and Youssouf Fofana have been selected as the midfield trio ahead of Koni De Winter, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic in defence. Mike Maignan - fresh off a renewal until 2031 - is the captain and goalkeeper."
AC Milan face Bologna at the Stadio Renato dall'Ara while under pressure after rivals picked up wins. Deadline-day attempts to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta failed, leaving an attacking shortage. Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic are absent with muscle issues, Santiago Gimenez is still recovering from surgery, and Rafael Leao plus Niclas Füllkrug start on the bench. Massimiliano Allegri has deployed Ruben Loftus-Cheek supporting Christopher Nkunku as a makeshift front two, with Zachary Athekame making his first league start. The midfield features Adrien Rabiot, Luka Modric and Youssouf Fofana, and Mike Maignan captains in goal.
