October 18th According to Sky Sports Italy, due to the team being full of injuries, Milan coach Allegri may use Loftus-Cheek as the attacking midfielder in the game against Fiorentina. This has to be said to be a surprising tactical adjustment.

There is good news at the Milanello training base. Salle Marcos is expected to recover in time, but Nkunku's situation is worrying. The Frenchman injured his foot during the international match and is still training alone. In addition, Pulisic has been confirmed to miss the game due to a thigh injury.

Under such circumstances, Allegri considered letting Leo serve as the center, with Loftus-Cheek serving as the attacking midfielder behind him. This adjustment allows the Italian coach to keep offensive players like S-Jimenez on the bench while making the midfield combination more balanced. If this plan is confirmed, Modric, Yusuf Fofana and Ricci will form a midfield trio.
