Massimiliano Allegri can smile again because Christopher Nkunku has returned to full training and will be available for tomorrow night’s home match against Pisa.
The Frenchman, who suffered a foot injury while on international duty, missed the last game against Fiorentina but is now fit and ready to play at San Siro against Alberto Gilardino’s Pisa.
Tuttosport reports that Nkunku’s recovery gives Allegri another option in attack. With him on the bench, the ex Juventus coach is expected to start Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez together. Barring any late surprises, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will miss tomorrow’s match as well, as he has not yet fully recovered from the muscle fatigue he felt during the training session before the Fiorentina game. The club hopes to have him back for the next league match away to Atalanta on Tuesday in Bergamo.
Pervis Estupinan will miss the Pisa game.
He injured his ankle while on international duty and has not yet returned to training on the pitch. The Ecuadorian full-back is continuing his therapy at Milanello, and it will take more time before he can play again. On the left side, Davide Bartesaghi will once again start, continuing to prove, game after game, that he can be a 'Milan-level' player.
