More injuries for AC Milan
The Rossoneri will face Como on Thursday after the away draw against Fiorentina over the weekend and the team coached by Massimiliano Allegri has to deal with another injury this week in the attack, as new winter signing Niclas Fullkrug reportedly fractured his toe after just 106 minutes of Serie A action. He will miss Thursday's match and will possibly be back in around two weeks. The German striker is the latest injury Allegri is facing this season, as both Christopher Nkunku and Christian Pulisic are not at their best condition and Rafael Leao is still struggling as well. This is why there are increasing doubts on who will start against Como, also considering the importance of the match.
