AC Milan’s injury situation has improved, although they will still be without a few key players. Mexican forward Santiago Gimenez is recovering from ankle surgery performed in December 2025. The significant blow for Milan is the absence of midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who sustained a serious facial injury during their defeat to Parma on February 22. Matteo Gabbia will also miss this match due to injury.
On a positive note, Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic are fit and available for selection. Coach Allegri commented on his forwards, stating, “All four of my forwards are doing well. I don’t know who I will field tomorrow, but we will need whoever’s on the bench in the last half hour.”
