The two starters did the second part of training alone due to physical problems: back for Alexis, fatigue for Christian. If CP is out on Saturday, run-off between Loftus-Cheek and Nkunku. Athekame and Gimenez will not be available
Concern for Milan. Alexis Saelemaekers and Christian Pulisic did part of the training with their teammates but stopped and finished the session alone. The Belgian has a back problem, the American a muscle strain.
the alternatives for Saturday
—
The Milan fans naturally wonder if there are risks for Saturday night’s match against Lazio. Three and a half days before kick-off, the situation must be assessed day by day and Milan itself is not going out of balance. The back is generally less of a concern. Pulisic, on the other hand, has already stopped for about twenty days in October due to an injury to his right hamstring and you can’t take any risks with him: he is too important for Milan. Who would play in their place? Athekame is not ready yet, like Gimenez: they will go to the stands. Estupinan could play on the right, with Bartesaghi on the left. In attack, however, a runoff would open up between Nkunku and Loftus-Cheek.
