An AC Milan in the midst of an attacking emergency takes the field today in Lecce, where at the Via del Mare Stadium the second round of the league will be played at 20:45. It is far from an ideal situation, especially coming off the disappointing debut defeat at San Siro against newly promoted Cremonese.
Allegri will have to do without Rafael Leao, who is still dealing with a calf issue and has not fully recovered, hence the decision not to risk him, as well as Christian Pulisic, who traveled with the squad but is expected to start from the bench.
Today La Gazzetta dello Sport highlights precisely this makeshift attack with which the Rossoneri arrive in Lecce. The newspaper headlines: “Blunt attack, Pulisic in doubt.” It then adds about Christian Pulisic: "The American is not at his best and should begin on the bench. From expendable to starter: Musah." Pulisic is carrying a minor ankle issue, but he will still be available as the game progresses. As for his compatriot, the midfielder should instead start on the flank, made possible also by Jashari’s injury, which in turn could keep him at Milan.
