"Ten days before this match Milan handled Bologna relatively easily and won 3-0. As the schedule would have it, partially due to the aborted Como match first scheduled to be played in Australia, the players have had more than a week to recuperate and train. This is going to be a second vs second last match and as always this guarantees nothing as far as Milan is concerned."
"The injury list still includes Gimenez who has apparently targeted a mid March return after his ankle injury and surgery. Saelemaekers is still struggling with an adductor problem but Pulisic has returned to full training. This means a similar lineup as the Bologna game is to be expected. Nkunku and Leao should remain the starters as Pulisic may not be risked from the first minute."
Milan beat Bologna 3-0 ten days earlier and had more than a week to recuperate after the aborted Como match scheduled in Australia. Gimenez remains injured with a mid March return targeted after his ankle injury and surgery. Saelemaekers struggles with an adductor problem while Pulisic has returned to full training. A similar lineup to the Bologna game is expected with Nkunku and Leao starting and Pulisic possibly on the bench. Fofana, Modric, Rabiot and Bartesaghi are midfield favorites and the back three should be Tomori, Gabbia and Pavlovic with Maignan in goal. Tomori and Pulisic face 2027 contract-extension talks and Bartesaghi is due an improved deal after his 2030 extension. Pisa sit 19th under new coach Oscar Hiljemark.
