LATEST FROM MILAN FUTURO
A good performance against Perugia wasn't enough for the three points last time out, but it did break a run of four straight defeats. The situation in the table remains a precarious one and, as such, the midweek trip to Abruzzo is hugely important. The Rossoneri need a win to shake off the recent poor form and rectify their standings. Furthermore, they need to rediscover their killer instinct in front of goal and finish of their chances, which have been coming in recent outings. From Perugia to Pineto, the team don't have much time to prepare, but they are highly motivated. Forza ragazzi!
