"There was a strong risk that the full extent of the diabolical emergency experienced by AC Milan in recent weeks, after the infamous international break, would be revealed in Bergamo. Tare said: "We couldn't have foreseen that six injured players would return!". And yes, it should have been foreseen because in the absence of the cups, there were precisely the breaks for the national teams, which have become a hellish trap for the clubs."
"It already seems like AC Milan will be active in January, but the circumstances will certainly be different to this year's winter mercato. Rewind nine months and Milan were in the final stages of the January mercato, panicking to try and fix a squad that was underperforming whilst also riding the highs of the Supercoppa Italiana. Put frankly, it was a mess."
AC Milan were disorganized during last January's mercato, making unstructured signings that failed to improve the squad; Santiago Gimenez still raises questions and Kyle Walker and Joao Felix departed quickly. The current squad is performing better under Massimiliano Allegri, with clearer gaps and more targeted needs. Recent injuries after the international break exposed thin depth, leaving only 19 available outfield players and creating risk for Champions League ambitions while jeopardizing domestic cup competitions. Calls exist to reconsider a proposed trip to Australia and reschedule to Italy or a nearer venue to reduce squad strain.
