Milan injuries, Allegri confirms: two starters out for long time. Announcement on Leao

Emergency at AC Milan after the rainfall of injuries that followed the commitments of the national teams: the Rossoneri will have to do without several star players, up to this decisive moments for Massimiliano Allegri. The Tuscan coach spoke on the eve of the match against Fiorentina, valid for the seventh day of Serie A.

“Rabiot and Pulisic are unlikely to be available before the next break. Estupinan has this ankle problem and will not be there on Sunday. Nkunku has a problem with his big toe. We will see, if he can put the shoe on he will be there on Sunday. Saelemakers, on the other hand, is available” Allegri explained.

“What should be done? The two stoppages have been merged, then a solution must be found. Soccer has evolved, it has become globalized and we cannot go back. We could bring the games forward to 8 p.m., so they go to bed earlier and rest. Injuries are also recovery issues, it could be a little help” said Allegri again on the injury situation.

Leao will start from 1′ as a first forward: “He trained on Monday and had an intense week. He had to regain a good condition. I think he is ready to be a star again. We need him and everyone. At the end of the season we all get there together. Rafa has important qualities, he has extraordinary technical qualities and he has to be let play”.
