"For Milan, the events of Friday night must still sting as they squandered the opportunity to lock in top spot for another week, drawing 2-2 against a Pisa side who were in bottom place in the standings going into the game. In his pre-match press conference, Massimiliano Allegri admitted that his team 'made life difficult' for themselves by letting a one-goal lead slip and requiring an added-time equaliser to snatch a draw. However, there is the chance to put things right a few days later."
"Given that Allegri has made just five substitutions combined across the last two games, the size of Milan's squad and the lack of depth available - largely due to injuries - has once again come under the microscope. Compared to the draw with Pisa, there is only one good bit of injury news: Ruben Loftus-Cheek was back in full training on Sunday, and he is therefore fit enough to be in the squad. At present, he is not expected to start the game, though."
AC Milan travel to Bergamo to play Atalanta after drawing 2-2 with bottom-placed Pisa, missing the chance to consolidate top spot. Massimiliano Allegri said the team made life difficult by surrendering a one-goal lead and needing an added-time equaliser. Squad depth is a concern after only five substitutions across two matches and multiple injuries. Ruben Loftus-Cheek has returned to full training but is unlikely to start. Christian Pulisic is not expected against Roma but could be on the bench versus Parma, Ardon Jashari may rejoin the group Wednesday, Estupinan is nearing a return, and Adrien Rabiot will be out until after the November international break.
