Since the new year, it cannot be denied that Milan have been a little toothless in attack. Rafael Leao has found the net three times, whilst Christian Pulisic has failed to score a goal in 2025 so far. In other words, it needs addressing.

Definitely had better days and very relieved the penalty didn't turn out decisive - grazie team!🙏🏼 Games like this can still make the difference in the end and that's all we need now! Thank you all for supporting us on this Friday night - have a nice weekend, Rossoneri! ❤️🖤

After completing the signing of Niclas Füllkrug, the AC Milan management are carefully planning how the attack of the future might look. As Tuttosport report this morning, Füllkrug has so far made a positive impact. The 32-year-old has adapted well, having made his debut against Cagliari on January 2, and then having performed well off the bench against Genoa (could have won a penalty) and Fiorentina (should have had multiple assists). Most recently, he scored a game-winning header against Lecce less than two minutes after coming on. It's still unclear whether the former West Ham player will get a chance to start in Rome on Sunday evening, but his contribution will be needed nonetheless. Milan are greatly appreciating how the German has embraced this adventure, with his spirit, enthusiasm and dedication. Füllkrug is surprising everyone, and if he keeps going this way then buying him permanently for €5m could be a given, especially with Champions League football.

Santiago Gimenez's recovery has taken much longer than expected. What initially seemed like a few weeks' absence turned into a month and a half. Now, AC Milan have approved surgery. When he first went off injured against Atalanta, there were a number of contrasting reports about his recovery. Some believed he would be out for a week or two, whilst Mexican reports suggested that he would be facing almost a month and a half out.
