"A new calendar year begins with Milan second in the table, the team has done better than most expected and all with a thin squad. As the midpoint of the season approaches Milan is in a position to compete with Inter, Napoli and others. The team has only one competition to play the rest of this season. This begins with six Serie A matches in January before settling for a lighter schedule, something rarely available or possible in modern football."
"As Fullkrug's loan transfer has become official almost in a emergency this early in the January window the German forward becomes the new number and is ready on the bench. Gimenez finally got a confirmed injury update and he will miss three months after undergoing surgery for a persistent ankle issue. Nkunku is out injured and Allegri is therefore unable to use the same lineup that beat Verona 3-0 with a brace from the Frenchman."
Milan occupies second place with a thin squad and is positioned to compete with Inter, Napoli and others as the season midpoint nears. The team will focus solely on Serie A, starting with six January matches before a lighter schedule. Fullkrug’s loan became official and he is available on the bench. Gimenez will miss three months after ankle surgery and Nkunku is injured, prompting lineup changes including Loftus-Cheek alongside Leao and likely midfield adjustments involving Fofana, Saelemaekers, Modric, Rabiot and Bartesaghi. Maignan is set to start while his contract renewal remains uncertain.
