Bad news in the Milan household ahead of the big match with Bologna, scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 3 at 8:45 p.m. at the Dall’Ara, which will close the program of the 23rd day of Serie A. Indeed, Coach Massimiliano Allegri will also have to do without Christian Pulisic, as well as Alexis Saelemaekers. According to reports from Sky Sport, the American striker will not be summoned for the trip to Emilia-Romagna because of bursitis to the’ileopsoas.

Between the Nerazzurri took over the concern and not only for the condition of the'former teammate
… had he asked for the change would have come an appeal from the home company…
… and there would have also been the risk of drastic measures by the Sports Judge

The Rossoneri coach, speaking in a press conference on the eve of the challenge against the Rossoblù, had left some hope on the American, who, however, failed to recover in time and will not start with the team. Allegri, on the other hand, had been quite clear about Saelemaekers: “Saelemaekers will not be there, the adductor is still bothering him. In Rome he made himself available, but he had a soreness”.

In place of the Belgian right back will play one of Athekame or Loftus-Cheek, as pointed out by the Diavolo coach: “Athekame has grown a lot and I have full confidence in his ability: on the right side he will play him or Loftus-Cheek”. As for the attack, on the other hand, with Pulisic unavailable, Leao and Fullkrug are candidates for a shirt from the first minute, with Nkunku ready to take over as the match progresses.

Allegri also responded indirectly to Antonio Conte, who in the post-match of Napoli-Fiorentina, attacked those who draw up the calendars of the various tournaments also in light of the numerous injuries that have affected members of the Azzurri squad, the last of whom, Giovanni Di Lorenzo, will be forced to a long stop.

“Every year I hear the same controversies about the calendar – explained the Milan coach -: we play too much, too little, too early or too late. When I was at Juventus, we won five Scudettos, four Italian Cups and reached two Champions League finals: we were always ahead of everyone, yet the number of games was the same as everyone else. If you want to compete at a high level, you have to accept playing a lot and being in Champions. For me it is a privilege, not a burden. I sincerely hope to find myself with these problems next season”.
