"Few people will be left smiling after the international break at AC Milan, but Christopher Nkunku is, and he hopes to share it. This break has been one of the worst for Milan in recent memory. Rather than being able to carry a win into the break, they carried frustrations, and these frustrations grew with several injuries over the break. However, Nkunku has tried to ease worries and performed well when given a chance, something which is becoming a theme."
"Nkunku's fine form As Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) writes, 'if he starts, he scores' and so far, that is true. For France against Iceland, he started on the left and scored, whilst it was in the Coppa Italia where he scored his first and only goal for the Rossoneri. He hopes to keep this run going, and the fixture against Fiorentina would be an interesting chance for him to do so, considering what is emerging about Christian Pulisic's condition this afternoon."
AC Milan entered the international break with poor results and multiple injuries, leaving squad morale low. Christopher Nkunku has performed well when selected and has started scoring consistently. He scored for France against Iceland and registered his first Milan goal in the Coppa Italia. Injuries to other forwards and uncertainty over Christian Pulisic's condition increase Nkunku's chances of a start against Fiorentina. Santiago Gimenez will not return until tomorrow, further improving Nkunku's prospects. Rafael Leao remains a likely competitor for the forward position, but Nkunku is positioned to earn a starting spot and aims to impress.
