"AC Milan look likely to partner Christian Pulisic with Niclas Füllkrug once again, after their solid showing against Fiorentina at the weekend. Whilst neither made a contribution to the result, the first example of Pulisic and Füllkrug starting together was a positive one. They linked well, and on another day, the American probably would have scored a brace. It was certainly a rare off day."
"Nevertheless, for their first time starting alongside each other, a lot of positives can be taken and it seems Massimiliano Allegri will continue with them together, rather than giving the scorer of the Rossoneri's only goal, Christopher Nkunku, a chance. Caution prevails If there were to be a change, it would've been to bring Rafael Leao into the mix, but Allegri is being cautious with the star. After all, he does not want to overload his workload too soon and risk further damage."
AC Milan will likely pair Christian Pulisic with Niclas Füllkrug again following a solid outing against Fiorentina. Neither player scored or directly influenced the result, but their first start together produced strong link-up play and created clear scoring opportunities. Massimiliano Allegri plans to keep the duo together rather than reintroduce Christopher Nkunku to the starting lineup. Allegri is exercising caution with Rafael Leao to avoid overloading his workload and risking further injury. SportMediaset (via MilanNews) reports the pair will start against Como at San Siro, with Fikayo Tomori, Luka Modric, Adrien Rabiot and Davide Bartesaghi expected to return to the starting XI.
