AC Milan continues preparation for Sunday night’s highly anticipated derby and still has some doubts over the lineup, especially in attack.
Pulisic or Nkunku? The attack dilemma
Up front, Massimiliano Allegri has only one certainty: Rafael Leao. Despite not being in peak condition, he appears untouchable in the starting eleven.
The question is who will play alongside him. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the favorite is currently Christian Pulisic, even though he has struggled for several weeks with missed chances and errors.
The coaching staff aims to motivate the number 11 by showing continued trust during a rough patch. Only with more playing time can he regain his best form, as relayed via Milan Press.
Pulisic’s main competition is Christopher Nkunku, slightly behind in the race, though no decision has been made yet. Niclas Fullkrug ranks further down the hierarchy, as including him would require too many changes to the game plan.
