"Now, Milan are going into a run of games that they simply have to rack up consecutive wins in. After Verona is Cagliari, Genoa and Fiorentina in January. They will face the 18th, 15th, 16th, and 20th-placed teams in the league: four of the bottom six. There is a mental hurdle to overcome though clearly, given the Rossoneri have already dropped points to Cremonese, Parma, Pisa and Sassuolo, conceding two goals in each of those matches too."
"In his presser, Allegri revealed that Rafael Leao will be out of the game on Sunday because he is still feeling a bit of discomfort, having not played since the 3-2 comeback win over Torino earlier in the month. He also confirmed that Matteo Gabbia will not make it back as he continues to recover from the hyper-extended knee that he sustained during the draw with Sassuolo. Santiago Gimenez is out after undergoing surgery to hopefully finally correct his troublesome ankle."
AC Milan will play Hellas Verona at San Siro on Sunday, December 28 with kick-off at 12:30 CET and Michael Fabbri appointed as referee (VAR: Mazzoleni). Milan sit one point off the top of the table but have recently dropped points to Sassuolo and suffered early exits from the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana. Manager Massimiliano Allegri agreed with Fabio Capello that reaching the top four will be difficult and denied rumours about midfield departures. Rafael Leao, Matteo Gabbia and Santiago Gimenez are unavailable through injury or surgery, and Milan face a run of fixtures against bottom-six opponents they must win.
