Allegri confirmed Christopher Nkunku has recovered but said Loftus-Cheek would be assessed in the final training session. Loftus-Cheek will be unavailable for tomorrow night's game at San Siro due to lingering discomfort from a muscle strain suffered last week. Emanuele Sala, an 18-year-old Milan Futuro player, is likely to be called up as Loftus-Cheek's replacement. A contract extension for Sala is reported to be close to agreement. Nkunku will return to the matchday squad starting on the bench. Santiago Gimenez and Rafael Leao are expected to lead the attack, while Koni De Winter may make his first league start in defence.
