Allegri Returns to Turin as Milan Coach, Confirms Tomori Fit and Left-Back Plan

The homecoming doubles as an early measure of his Juventus-honed methods now reshaping Milanello.

Overview

  • AC Milan visit Juventus at the Allianz Stadium today in Massimiliano Allegri’s first match there as an opponent in 12 years.
  • Allegri confirmed Fikayo Tomori is available and said Bartesaghi or Athekame will replace the suspended Estupinan at left back.
  • Juventus arrive on a four-game run of draws across league and Europe, while Milan have strung together five straight league wins.
  • At Milan, Allegri has brought several longtime Juventus collaborators, including Marco Landucci and Claudio Filippi, and has reinstated double sessions with tighter internal rules.
  • He rejected any notion of personal revenge and thanked both clubs, as local coverage expects a warm reception from Juventus supporters.
