Overview
- An MRI confirmed a lesion of Adrien Rabiot’s soleus, with a re-evaluation in about ten days and an absence that will cover at least the Fiorentina match.
- Christian Pulisic felt a hamstring issue against Australia and returned to Milan for tests today after a travel delay, with his availability beyond Fiorentina dependent on results.
- Reports in Italy indicate concern that Pulisic could face a multi-week layoff, though the club will set a timeline only after examinations.
- With both out for Fiorentina, Massimiliano Allegri is preparing Rafa Leao for a central starting role, giving Christopher Nkunku more minutes and keeping a more advanced option for Ruben Loftus-Cheek in consideration.
- Alexis Saelemaekers’ recovery has progressed and he is being assessed for a return, Pervis Estupiñán’s ankle is under evaluation with Bartesaghi as cover, and the club frustration over national-team workloads comes as Milan renews its Emirates shirt deal with a reported 20–25% increase.
