The injury concerns for AC Milan have intensified ahead of their match against Fiorentina. The game is set to take place at the iconic San Siro on Sunday at 19:45 UK time (18:45 GMT).
AC Milan’s Injury Crisis Deepens
Ruben Loftus-Cheek has emerged as a significant injury doubt, adding to the Rossoneri’s mounting problems. Prior to this, Milan was already dealing with absences that included notable players such as Adrien Rabiot, Christian Pulisic, Pervis Estupinan, and Ardon Jashari.
Latest Injury Updates
- Ruben Loftus-Cheek: Uncertain for the match after a muscular twinge in training.
- Christopher Nkunku: Unavailable following a knock from international duty.
- Rafael Leao and Alexis Saelemaekers: Both are recovering from muscular injuries.
Loftus-Cheek was expected to be part of the starting lineup, but his fitness has been called into question following a late setback. The decision regarding his participation will be made after a fitness test on the day of the match, though his chances seem slim.
In a challenging situation, AC Milan may need to reposition their players. Leao might serve as the center-forward with support from Saelemaekers; however, both players are not at full fitness.
Potential Lineup
With the injury situation persisting, here’s a probable lineup for the match against Fiorentina:
| Position | Player |
|---|---|
| Goalkeeper | Maignan |
| Defender | Pavlovic |
| Defender | Tomori |
| Defender | Gabbia |
| Midfielder | Athekame |
| Midfielder | Ricci |
| Midfielder | Modric |
| Midfielder | Fofana |
| Midfielder | Bartesaghi |
| Forward | Saelemaekers |
| Forward | Leao |
Additionally, Santiago Gimenez’s recent fatigue from international duty may limit his appearances. New signings Zachary Athekame and Davide Bartesaghi could play crucial roles, despite being primarily known as full-backs.
As AC Milan prepares for this critical match, the team faces a tough challenge due to their growing injury list. The impact of these absences will be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
