LATEST FROM MILANELLO
AC Milan comes into this match following a 1-1 draw against Atalanta, a result that followed a 2-2 home draw against Pisa. The Rossoneri are experiencing a period of ups and downs in the league but are showing signs of growth and determination. Allegri's team is ready to capitalize on home advantage to return to winning ways and continue their pursuit of the top spots. No players suspended or at risk of suspension. Pulisic, Gimenez, Rabiot, and Tomori remain out, while Leão and Estupiñan have returned.

"After the international break, we lost a few players, but these things happen," said Coach Allegri during his pre-match press conference. "We have recuperated and tomorrow we expect a great game, but a tough one too. Roma have conceded very few goals, while we've let some in over the last few games. We need to change that pattern. Gasperini has already given a strong identity to the team, a physically strong side that covers a lot of distance. Dybala and Soulé are real quality. We'll need focus, compactness, and consistency in duels to keep them under control."

Playing in this sort of match is a brilliant opportunity".
