Ruben Loftus-Cheek ruled out
Milan prepares to face Pisa on Thursday evening, but there’s unfortunate news. Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that English midfielder Ruben Loftus-Cheek will not be available for the match due to a muscle injury. This situation has been exacerbated by the fact that the player has yet to fully recover from his recent physical issue.
On the other hand, there is good news regarding Christopher Nkunku, who has recovered and will be on the bench for the match. This could provide crucial offensive depth to Allegri, considering Nkunku has proven to be a key player for the team’s attacking choices.
With Loftus-Cheek’s absence, valued at €10.00 million, having performed well in midfield so far, Allegri will need to make some changes. The duel in defense between Fikayo Tomori and Koni De Winter seems to be a focal point of the probable lineup. Tomori, valued at €20.00 million, is a solid presence, yet De Winter (€22.00 million), an ex-Empoli player, could start to bring new opportunities and freshness to the squad.
Milan, coming off an uneven start to the season, is aware that every game is crucial to stay competitive in the top Serie A spots. The match against Pisa represents not just an opportunity to collect points but also to test the team’s resilience following significant injuries like that of Loftus-Cheek.
