"AC Milan will be back in action after the October international break on Sunday night when they take on Fiorentina at San Siro. It will be a case of a friend in need returning, as Stefano Pioli's side are currently closer to the relegation zone than a European spot after a difficult start. However, Milan will be motivated to keep their positive recent run going too, having gone six unbeaten in all competitions."
"There has been a running theme throughout the break for Milan: injuries. Pervis Estupinan (ankle), Alexis Saelemaekers (muscle), Adrien Rabiot (muscle) and Christian Pulisic (muscle) all picked up problems while away, while Rafael Leao was sent home as he is not yet 100%. La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Pulisic is certain to miss the game, but Leao will be fit enough to get his first league start of the season alongside Santiago Gimenez."
AC Milan return from the October international break on Sunday night to face Fiorentina at San Siro. The club stands closer to the relegation zone than a European position after a difficult start. Milan carry a six-match unbeaten run across all competitions. Several players sustained issues during the break: Pervis Estupinan (ankle), Alexis Saelemaekers (muscle), Adrien Rabiot (muscle) and Christian Pulisic (muscle), while Rafael Leao was sent home not yet fully fit. Pulisic will miss the match; Leao is expected to start alongside Santiago Gimenez. Saelemaekers and Estupinan are likely to recover. Rabiot will sit out, with Youssouf Fofana and Ruben Loftus-Cheek flanking Luka Modric. Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia and Strahinja Pavlovic are projected to form a three-man defence ahead of Mike Maignan in a 3-5-2.
