LATEST FROM MILANELLO
The Rossoneri head into this match following a narrow defeat to Lazio, which ended a three-match winning streak in the league. However, their derby victory over Inter showed AC Milan deserve their current place in the table and, above all, can respond in difficult moments. Allegri's side have Adrien Rabiot back in midfield after suspension. Leão is unavailable, Santi Gimenez returns to the squad, but Loftus-Cheek and Gabbia are still out. Athekame, Fofana, Modrić, and Saelemaekers are all one booking away from suspension.
"Torino have good players and are in positive form. It's our final game before the international break, and it won't be easy," said Massimiliano Allegri during his pre-match press conference. We need to refocus after the game against Lazio. Gimenez will be in the squad; he's doing well. Up to now, the team has worked as a unit, getting through the problems caused by injuries to our forwards."
LATEST FROM TORINO
Torino arrive at San Siro after an impressive 4-1 victory over Parma, boosting the confidence of D'Aversa's side. Despite recent away struggles, the Granata have shown they can be dangerous in attack, as highlighted by the nine goals they've scored on the counter out of 32 in total. Torino will look to exploit their strengths to challenge AC Milan and earn valuable points in their quest for survival.
"We mustn't let enthusiasm turn into complacency; we haven't achieved anything yet. Three games don’t erase the past, and we still have work to do to reach our objective," said Roberto D’Aversa ahead of the match. "I haven't yet decided who will start between Zapata and Adams."
