"The international break didn't exactly treat Milan well, with several players returning to Milanello injured. Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic will both be out for around a month, while Pervis Estupinan and Christopher Nkunku will miss tomorrow's game. Alexis Saelemaekers has at least recovered from his injury, which is a boost for Milan, but it's not much of a consolation given the aforementioned star duo's injuries. In any case, it's clear that Allegri will have to shift things around tomorrow."
"The defence is expected to remain exactly the same with Mike Maignan in goal, while Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic will form the three-man backline. Given how strong the defence has been, it's good that Allegri doesn't have to change anything here. In midfield, Samuele Ricci will get the chance from start given the injury situation, partnering up with Youssouf Fofana and Luka Modric."
AC Milan will play Fiorentina at San Siro on Sunday, October 19 with kick-off at 20:45 CEST and Livio Marinelli as referee (VAR: Rosario Abbiso). Several players returned from the international break injured: Adrien Rabiot and Christian Pulisic will be out for around a month, while Pervis Estupinan and Christopher Nkunku will miss the match. Alexis Saelemaekers has recovered and is available. The defence should remain Mike Maignan, Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic. Midfield is expected to feature Samuele Ricci, Youssouf Fofana and Luka Modric, with Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi on the flanks. Rafael Leao is slated to start in a No.9 role with Ruben Loftus-Cheek in an attacking midfield position. Santiago Gimenez is reported healthy.
