The second international break is almost (finally) over. Only Italy’s match remains, tonight in Udine against Israel, and a few more games before the league resumes. Allegri’s Milan, after the disappointing 0-0 draw away to Juventus, will face Fiorentina next Sunday, led by former coach Stefano Pioli. It is an important match and one that must not be underestimated despite Fiorentina’s poor run of form.
Attacking choices: many doubts for Allegri
As the title suggests, Massimiliano Allegri faces a real puzzle regarding his attacking options. After long trips overseas, Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez will only be able to train properly on Friday, just two days before Sunday night’s game at San Siro, as relayed via Milan News. The issue remains significant since both were among the best players in the match against Juventus and are currently seen as the starting attacking pair.
Rafael Leao is eager, but then there is also Christopher Nkunku...
The Portuguese winger, Rafael Leao is eager to redeem himself after heavy criticism for his poor performance at the Allianz Stadium. However, the Portuguese forward is unlikely to start against Fiorentina. Nkunku, who scored for France, seems to have regained his motivation and determination with the national team, though his physical and athletic condition is still not at its best. Allegri has many doubts and uncertainties that will only be resolved on Friday, when he finally has the full squad available, including those returning from international duty.
