"Even though AC Milan have a very streamlined squad this season, not everyone is getting significant minutes to show their worth. As Calciomercato.com point out, Massimiliano Allegri came in and established a 3-5-2. With that, he also locked in a number of key starters from Mike Maignan and the three-man defence to Alexis Saelemaekers out wide, Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot in the middle, plus Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic up front."
"More specifically, the players that are not being used as much includes Koni De Winter - acquired last summer for around €20m from Genoa - who has played only when Fikayo Tomori was suffering from a knee injury. He also has some substitute appearances, but so far he has racked up just 345 minutes in Serie A, plus 90 minutes in the Coppa Italia against Lecce. De Winter, despite his limited playing time, is considered an important player by the entire coaching staff."
AC Milan operate a streamlined squad under Massimiliano Allegri, who has implemented a consistent 3-5-2 and locked in a defined starting eleven. The team makes the fewest substitutions in Serie A, which limits opportunities for squad players to accumulate minutes. Koni De Winter has featured mainly during Tomori’s injury and totals 345 Serie A minutes plus a Coppa Italia appearance, yet remains valued by the coaching staff. David Odogu has only 11 Coppa minutes and is expected to leave on loan in January. Zachary Akhetame scored a late equaliser and will serve as Saelemaekers’ backup when fit. Ardon Jashari has barely played due to a fibula fracture but is regarded as a long-term asset following a significant transfer fee.
