"Has the time finally come to see Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao back on the pitch together from the first minute? As Tuttosport (via MilanNews) reports, Milan fans and above all Massimiliano Allegri are wondering and hoping that the duo can be paired together for tomorrow night's home match against Genoa, the first at San Siro in 2026. The two have only started together once this season, on November 23rd in the derby against Inter."
"Tomorrow night against Genoa, the coach should finally have the chance to field both players from the start. Leao already started against Cagliari, while Pulisic has recovered from the ailments that kept him on the bench for much of the match. What if one of the two isn't fit enough to start? Unfortunately, there aren't many options: Niclas Fullkrug isn't yet fully fit and is likely to come on during the second half for his debut at San Siro."
"Christopher Nkunku is still recovering from the foot injury he suffered at the end of 2025 against Hellas Verona and trained separately yesterday. He will be on the bench at best, therefore. Also keep an eye on the condition of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who left training early yesterday after suffering a minor issue, but it is not expected to be anything to worry about."
Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao are available to possibly start together for AC Milan in the upcoming home match against Genoa at San Siro. The pair have only started together once this season, on November 23rd in the derby with Inter. Injuries have frequently prevented Allegri from fielding both concurrently, but Leao started against Cagliari and Pulisic has recovered from earlier ailments. Options are limited if one cannot start, since Niclas Fullkrug is not fully fit and likely to feature only in the second half. Christopher Nkunku remains in recovery and trained separately, while Ruben Loftus-Cheek left training early with a minor issue.
