Even for the final matchday against Cagliari, a decisive game for Milan’s qualification for the Champions League which will take place at San Siro on Sunday 24 May at 20:45, coach Massimiliano Allegri is leaning towards excluding Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leão.
This is what emerges from early training-ground reports of the Rossoneri, relayed by colleagues at Gazzetta dello Sport. The Portuguese player returns after suspension but will start on the bench; the same applies to the American, who came on during the match last Sunday.
The only player certain of a place in the attacking duo is Christopher Nkunku: the most in-form forward in the squad, not least because he has scored two goals in the last two matches and has shown a good attitude on the pitch. The others have not been scoring for a very long time. The Frenchman will therefore be rewarded, in the hope that he maintains continuity in his positive spell. Alongside him, two strikers in the squad are competing for a place: a battle between Santiago Giménez, who started in Genoa, and Niclas Füllkrug, who came on in the second half. This was relayed via Milannews.
