The list of injured Milan players is quite long at the moment. For tonight's match against Hellas Verona, Florenzi, Bennacer, Loftus-Cheek, Pulisic, Jovic, Musah, Morata, and Okafor will not be available.
The Spaniard (Morata) is dealing with tonsillitis, so his condition is not a concern for the upcoming matches. For the game against Roma on December 29, Paulo Fonseca hopes to have Pulisic, Bennacer, and Jovic back in the squad.
If they are unable to recover in time, they are expected to return on January 3 for the Supercoppa Italiana semifinal against Juventus.
Which Milan players should miss the Supercoppa matches?
However, it seems unlikely that Loftus-Cheek, Musah, and Okafor will be fit for the match in Saudi Arabia. The Englishman is sidelined with a right hamstring injury and will undergo further tests in the coming days to assess his recovery. Still, a miracle would likely be needed for him to play against the Bianconeri.
The same goes for the American and the Swiss players: the feeling is that both will have to watch the Supercoppa from the stands. This was reported this morning by La Gazzetta dello Sport, and relayed via Milannews.it.
