"The only one certainty up front, as such, is Nkunku. He came off the bench against Atalanta and won a penalty, which he then converted. He allso his the crossbar with a good effort that the goalkeeper got a slight touch too. But who will start alongside him? Nkunku and?"
"According to Tuttosport (via MilanNews), Niclas Füllkrug and Santiago Gimenez are obviously the candidates, but the Mexican is currently ahead after being tested in training yesterday. Starting him is a decision that many can get behind, even if the Atalanta game left Allegri with some doubts."
"Indeed, the German striker was the only player who got a passing grade from us, combining really well with his teammates and making things happen. Gimenez, meanwhile, tried to get involved but definitely didn't have the same success with the combinations."
"Predicted Milan XI (3-5-2): Maignan; De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic; Athekame, Fofana, Ricci, Rabiot, Bartesaghi; Gimenez, Nkunku."
Nkunku is the only certain starter for tomorrow’s match after coming off the bench against Atalanta, winning a penalty that he converted, and hitting the crossbar. Rafael Leao is unavailable due to suspension, while Christian Pulisic is expected to start despite not being fully free of discomfort. The main decision concerns Nkunku’s attacking partner. Niclas Füllkrug and Santiago Gimenez are the leading candidates, with Gimenez currently ahead after being tested in training. Gimenez is viewed as having stronger on-field impact, while Füllkrug is considered less certain despite being an option. A predicted 3-5-2 lineup includes Maignan, De Winter, Gabbia, Pavlovic, Athekame, Fofana, Ricci, Rabiot, Bartesaghi, Gimenez, and Nkunku.
