AC Milan's plans are in disarray as a key player's injury throws a spanner in the works! Alexis Saelemaekers' muscle strain has left manager Massimiliano Allegri scratching his head, with a big decision to make ahead of their clash with Fiorentina. But here's the dilemma: Saelemaekers is a pivotal figure in the team's success, and his absence could be a significant blow.
The club's medical team anxiously await the scan results (as per SempreMilan), knowing that even a short absence could disrupt their momentum. With a few games and players still to assess post-international break, the situation is far from ideal.
So, what's the solution? Tuttosport reveals three potential strategies Allegri is pondering. Firstly, he could opt for a like-for-like replacement with Zachary Athekame, but is the youngster ready for such a crucial role? And this is where it gets tricky. If Athekame isn't deemed ready, Allegri might be forced to tweak his tactics. A shift to a 4-4-2 or 4-3-3 formation is on the cards, with Christian Pulisic potentially moving to the right flank. But here's where it gets controversial: if the latter formation is chosen, Rafael Leao could be thrust back into the starting lineup, provided he's recovered from his own injury (as reported by SempreMilan).
Will Allegri stick with his trusted system or adapt to the circumstances? The football world awaits his decision. What do you think he should do? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
