With the 1-0 victory over Lecce at San Siro yesterday, secured by Niclas Fullkrug’s first goal for Milan, the team has completed the stretch of closely scheduled matches that has marked the start of 2026. From January 2, with the win at Cagliari, to yesterday, January 18, the Rossoneri played five matches in 16 days. This is a completely new scenario for a season without European competitions; once those resume, the long weeks will return for Allegri's squad.
A benefit and advantage that, given the misfortune of not qualifying last year for any continental competition, must be fully exploited. For this reason, since three difficult away games await in a row against Roma, Bologna, and Pisa, coach Allegri has decided to give the team two days of rest today and tomorrow. According to MilanNews.it, training at the Milanello training center will resume Wednesday afternoon in preparation for the away match at the Olimpico, scheduled for Sunday at 20:45.
