"Atalanta troubled Milan during the midweek match, but that was not really unexpected. Riding high at the top of the table Milan had met last placed Pisa days earlier and only managed a 2-2 tie, another not unexpected result. The 1-1 tie at Atalanta was not the worst possible result of course but showed the limitation of a thin and injury riddled team. It is disappointing to hear an experienced coach talking about not expecting injuries."
"Estupinan is back and so is Jashari. The former may not regain his place as Allegri is happy with Bartesaghi in the left back spot, for now. The latter is back from long term injury and needs to be integrated and regain shape before major minutes. Pulisic is close enough to perhaps be available next week at Parma and Rabiot after the international break for the derby."
Atalanta troubled Milan during a midweek match and a 1-1 draw exposed the limitations of a thin, injury-riddled squad. Milan had drawn 2-2 with bottom-placed Pisa days earlier, revealing depth issues. Allegri's claim of not expecting injuries appears naive given fixture congestion and Milan's injury history. Estupinan and Jashari have returned, but Estupinan may not displace Bartesaghi and Jashari needs time to regain fitness. Pulisic could be available next week and Rabiot after the international break. Tomori and Gimenez are injured; De Winter will replace Tomori. Leao is expected to start, with Nkunku favored upfront.
