Inter Vs AC Milan – France Superstar Returns To Rossoneri Starting XI For The First Time Since Early October | OneFootball

AC Milan star Adrien Rabiot could return to the starting lineup for the first time since early October in Sunday’s clash against Inter.

According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the 30-year-old midfielder has regained full fitness ahead of the upcoming Milan derby.

Milan signed Adrien Rabiot from Marseille late in the summer, leveraging the player’s desire to leave the Stade Velodrome.

Furthermore, the Frenchman has immediately slotted into Massimiliano Allegri’s starting XI, making four consecutive starts in Serie A.

Alongside Luka Modric, Rabiot had been Milan’s most influential midfield player before suffering a calf injury at the beginning of October.

Indeed, the former Juventus ace missed the club’s last five league matches before the international break.

Curiously, Milan’s dip in form coincided with Rabiot’s absence, with the Rossoneri dropping points in three of those five games.

However, Allegri can count on his favorite midfielder again.

Meanwhile, Milan may be without misfiring Mexican striker Santiago Gimenez, who is still recovering from an ankle injury.
