After the away victory in Bologna, Milan held a light recovery session yesterday before stopping for three full days of rest. This break was also made possible by the postponement of the match against Como, initially scheduled for February 8 and now rescheduled for Wednesday the 18th at 8:45 PM, which will allow the Rossoneri to prepare more calmly for the trip to Pisa on February 13.
As reported today by Corriere dello Sport, Massimiliano Allegri’s decision is not only related to managing the schedule but, above all, to the need to recover energy and key players. In particular, Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic, both rested in Bologna. The American is dealing with iliopsoas bursitis, but there is optimism regarding his availability for the match against the Tuscan team. The Portuguese, on the other hand, is treating pubalgia through therapy and rest; for this reason, he was not used against Italiano’s team. The goal is to have both of them available in Pisa.
The most delicate situation at AC Milan concerns Alexis Saelemaekers.
In fact, the Belgian winger has experienced a recurrence of discomfort in his adductor, which had already forced him to grit his teeth before the game against Roma. After the first half at the Olimpico, the pain returned, and now his presence against Pisa is highly doubtful, creating an additional headache for Allegri. In case of a withdrawal, the main candidate for a starting spot is Athekame, unless the coach decides to push Loftus-Cheek back to the right wing.
