On Wednesday evening, Milan will make up their home match against Como, valid for the 24th round, which couldn’t be played about ten days ago because San Siro was occupied for the opening ceremony of the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. To stay in the running for the Scudetto, the Rossoneri must win at all costs and get back to five points behind Inter; otherwise, the title race could be decided well before the Milan derby on March 8.
Today, Milan will continue their preparation at Milanello, where, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Alexis Saelemaekers is expected to return to the group after finally recovering from the adductor injury that forced him to miss the last two matches against Bologna and Pisa. If there are no further setbacks, the Belgian will be called up, and it will then be up to Max Allegri to decide whether to start him or have him on the bench (Zachary Athekame performed well when he came on as a substitute). In defense, Koni De Winter could also return to the starting lineup, replacing one of Tomori, Gabbia, or Pavlovic.
Who will replace Rabiot in AC Milan's lineup against Como?
The French midfielder, formerly of Juventus, will be suspended after the red card he received on Friday in Pisa. Who will take his place? Currently, the most likely option is to move Ruben Loftus-Cheek back into midfield, having played as a forward in the last two matches, giving Milan a physically strong and dynamic midfielder. Completing the Rossoneri midfield will be Luka Modric, coming off the winning goal against the Tuscan Nerazzurri, and Samuele Ricci, who had a strong performance on Friday and provided the assist for the Croatian’s goal.
