"AC Milan will be without Adrien Rabiot for tonight's game against Como, and they must find a way to improve results without him. Milan got the job done against Pisa on Friday night, even if the game agains the second-bottom side was not entirely straightforward. Indeed, the fact that Rabiot was sent off did not help things, as he got two yellow cards in quick succession late on."
"It means that he will serve a one-game suspension, but he also will remain on a tightrope when he returns because he was on four yellow cards for the season, and that remains the case despite his double yellow. It now leaves a question about the approach to the Derby della Madonnina, too. As Sky report, Milan need to figure out how to cope without Rabiot, and the numbers show it all too well. With the Frenchman in the side the Rossoneri have played 16 games since his arrival, amassing 40 points at an average of 2.5 points per game."
"The best indication of what Rabiot brings might well be the reverse fixture against Como just over one month ago. With Milan penned in and trailing, the former PSG man won a penalty late in the first half to get his side level, then scored a brace in the second half to essentially personally earn a 3-1 win."
Adrien Rabiot will miss tonight's game against Como due to a one-game suspension after receiving two quick yellow cards against Pisa. He remains on four yellow cards for the season, creating selection risk on his return and raising questions ahead of the Derby della Madonnina. Milan have collected 40 points from 16 games with Rabiot, averaging 2.5 points per game, and just 12 points from seven games without him, averaging 1.7 points. Rabiot directly influenced the reverse fixture with Como by winning a penalty and scoring a second-half brace to secure a 3-1 win.
