'It didn't seem like a great idea' - Vitiello adamant Milan need January signings

"Milan made the decision to go into the season with just 19 outfield players available. During the last international break, four players sustained injuries which decimated the squad, resulting in only seven substitutes being named on the bench for the Fiorentina game. While the likes of Pervis Estupinan, Christian Pulisic and Ardon Jashari are due back in the next fortnight, it has been a very strong reminder of the delicate nature of a squad which is sorely lacking in numbers."

""Overall, it didn't seem like a great idea to enter the season with only 19 outfield players, especially in a game where injuries are rife (and international commitments, which often cause problems, must also be taken into account). This is why it would be advisable to intervene in the transfer market in January. First and foremost, to strengthen the defence, as Odogu is currently considered non-existent.""

""Meanwhile, in attack, Gimenez and Nkunku will be evaluated, but if the goal-scoring problem persists, the squad will need to be bolstered. Allegri hopes to keep pace with the others until March, but to do so, the squad will need to be strengthened.""

AC Milan began the season with only 19 available outfield players, leaving the squad vulnerable. Four players suffered injuries during the international break, reducing the bench to seven for the Fiorentina match. Key players such as Pervis Estupinan, Christian Pulisic and Ardon Jashari are expected to return within a fortnight, but squad depth remains thin. The club should target the January transfer window to reinforce the defense, where Odogu is viewed as ineffective. Attack reinforcements should be considered if Gimenez and Nkunku do not resolve ongoing goal-scoring problems. Allegri aims to maintain pace through March but requires a stronger squad.
