Injury for Loftus-Cheek, Nkunku to Start Against Como
This afternoon at Milanello, an important update regarding tonight’s lineup has emerged. Coach Massimiliano Allegri confirmed that Ruben Loftus-Cheek will not start against Como due to physical issues. Until yesterday, the former Chelsea midfielder seemed certain for a starting position, but a morning training session revealed he is not at his best. This is unfortunate, especially considering Loftus-Cheek’s decisive performances in recent matches, where he scored crucial goals against Bologna and Pisa.
In his place, Christopher Nkunku will take the field, getting the chance to partner with Rafa Leão. Although the two have not played often together, their more attacking mindset compared to Loftus-Cheek could add unpredictability to Milan’s play.
Pobega Officially at Bologna
Another key update concerns the transfer market: Bologna has officially announced the purchase of Tommaso Pobega on a permanent basis. After a loan spell, the Emilia-Romagna club decided to sign him permanently for a fee of 8 million euros. This deal is a further example of Milan’s investment strategy. With proceeds from market movements, particularly from the transfers of Pobega and Álex Jiménez, the Rossoneri are set to secure resources for the future.
