"AC Milan will return to Serie A action in two days when they face Bologna away from home, but Massimiliano Allegri has some selection headaches. Milan will take to the field at the Stadio Renato dall'Ara on Tuesday at 20:45 CET to conclude the 23rd round of Serie A Enilive, hoping to keep the pressure up on the teams around them at the top of the league."
"Attack depleted This is a match in which Massimiliano Allegri will have to contend with several certified absences. Sky (via MilanNews) report that - in addition to Santiago Gimenez - Alexis Saelemaekers will be out due to a worsening adductor problem and will be replaced by Zachary Athekame on the right side."
"In addition to the Swiss, Allegri's staff deployed Youssouf Fofana in midfield during today's tests at Milanello, as reported by Peppe Di Stefano. However, problems could arise especially in attack, with Christian Pulisic missing from training and Rafael Leao also not fully fit. The so far unused pairing of Christopher Nkunku and Ruben Loftus-Cheek was tried out today. There is still another session on the eve of the game, so Allegri will hope for some recoveries, but it does seem that the attack will be stretched again. Jean-Philippe Mateta is expected to sign before tomorrow's 20:00 CET deadline as he is undergoing a medical, though it is not certain if he will play a part in Bologna yet given the tight turnaround time."
