AC Milan's 3-1 win over Frosinone at San Siro has restored confidence and serenity to the Rossoneri squad, which was badly shaken by the heavy defeat to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
Now, Stefano Pioli faces nine days that will be just as decisive, not only for the desperate attempt to advance to the Champions League round of 16, but also for the continuation of the league season.
We will find out if AC Milan is really healed first on Saturday, December 9 at 6pm when the Rossoneri face Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta at Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo. This is a sort of new circle that closes after Pioli's epic began following a 5-0 defeat in Bergamo.
It will be a tough game on a pitch that has always been difficult for everyone, and it will be followed just four days later by the do-or-die match against Newcastle, not only for the Champions League, but also for a possible drop to Europa League.
The good news could come from the infirmary, as new instrumental tests are expected for Rafael Leao on Tuesday, December 5. If it is true that there is a Milan with him and a different and less effective one without him, having him or not in these two games will be crucial.
The sensations are excellent for the cup game, not as good but still positive for the one against Atalanta, but the medical tests will verify how far along the recovery of the right thigh biceps femoris injury is. AC Milan's gaffer, Pioli, is playing for a lot of the credit he recovered with Frosinone and can no longer do without his brightest star.
