"The last couple have results have proved something that AC Milan feared: the team struggle without Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot. Corriere dello Sport report this morning that it is no coincidence Milan offered their least positive performances of the season against Fiorentina, Pisa and Atalanta, in the last three rounds of Serie A action. While they took home five points with no defeats, each game was a struggle."
"Wthout the European competitions to contend with, Massimiliano Allegri deemed it appropriate to work with a smaller group of players, making it easier to manage the squad. The problem is the variable of injuries, never truly predictable in its magnitude. Thus, after a disastrous October international break, the coach found himself with a reduced roster due to the simultaneous absences of Pulisic, Estupiñan, Rabiot, Loftus-Cheek and Nkunku, plus Jashari."
Recent Serie A results show AC Milan struggling more without Christian Pulisic and Adrien Rabiot. The squad consists of only 19 outfield players when fully fit, a choice made because there are no European matches to manage. Injuries are unpredictable and a series of absences after the October international break left the roster thin, including losses of Pulisic, Estupiñan, Rabiot, Loftus-Cheek, Nkunku and Jashari. Rabiot supplied physicality, leadership and two-way balance, while Pulisic provided work rate and consistent end product. Limited substitutions and a smaller bench have made it harder to regain previous performance levels.
