AC Milan vs Como – Match preview and team news

AC Milan team news

AC Milan will be without midfielder Adrien Rabiot, who is suspended following his red card in the 2-1 victory against Pisa in their last match.

There is positive news on the injury front, with both Rafael Leao and Christian Pulisic showing signs of recovery as they were both introduced as substitutes in the match against Pisa.

German striker Niclas Fullkrug has been dealing with a fractured toe sustained against Fiorentina, though this has not prevented him from featuring in recent matches. The injury was immediately reduced by Milan’s medical staff in Florence.

Alexis Saelemaekers is now available after recovering from his adductor problem, giving Allegri additional options in the attacking areas. However, striker Santiago Gimenez remains sidelined following ankle surgery and is not expected to return until late February.

Como team news

Como will be without former Milan striker Alvaro Morata, who is serving a suspension following his red card in the dying moments of their 2-1 home defeat to Fiorentina.

Anastasios Douvikas is expected to lead the line. The Greek striker has been in excellent form this season, scoring eight goals in 24 appearances.

Assamese Diao is sidelined until late February due to his muscle injury, while Edoardo Goldaniga is doubtful.
