Youssouf Fofana has been a key player under all three of his AC Milan head coaches so far, and it seems Massimiliano Allegri is trying to build the midfielder up. Milan tried desperately to bring Fofana to the club last summer; it seemed that they would have to wait until the summer just gone to land the midfielder initially. However, they eventually got a deal done, and it was worth it.
This morning, Gerry Cardinale attended Milanello to show his support for AC Milan, and he is currently meeting a few key members of staff. It has been a while since Cardinale, the owner of RedBird and Milan, has been seen in a Rossoneri setting. In fact, his lack of visibility around the club in recent times has been widely criticised by the fans and the media. However, things could change, with the American businessman present at the training ground this morning.
There are concerns regarding Strahinja Pavlovic's ability to feature for AC Milan against Como later this week, after his collision against Fiorentina this weekend.
