The injury crisis cannot be used as an excuse, especially since Massimiliano Allegri himself refuses to treat it as one.
He believes his team is strong and, above all, well-prepared to handle a season like this without European competitions. Some mistakes have been made, particularly in the number of available outfield players, but January will be the time to fix that.
For now, what matters are the pitch and the results. Despite everything, the ex Juventus coach is asking his players to show courage against a confident Roma side determined to reclaim the top spot in the standings, this time on their own. On this topic, 'Il Corriere dello Sport' ran the headline this morning: “Milan at max,” even though key players like Rabiot and Pulisic are still unavailable.
