The Quotidiano Sportivo, on newsstands this morning, headlines Milan as follows: “Nkunku-Füllkrug, the new strike partnership for the Champions League.” Ahead of the away match at Genoa, Max Allegri will have to do without the suspended Rafael Leão in attack, while Christian Pulisic has recovered but is expected to start on the bench. Therefore, Milan’s starting attacking duo at Marassi is likely to be Christopher Nkunku and Niclas Füllkrug.
With just two matchdays left, no Milan player this season has managed to reach double figures for goals in Serie A, thus risking breaking a positive streak that has lasted six years. Leão is on 9 goals but will miss the Genoa match due to suspension, while Pulisic is on 8 goals, though his condition remains uncertain after he missed the match against Atalanta because of a gluteal issue.
