Milan to Start Leão and Pulisic vs. Genoa Despite Fitness Concerns

Allegri signals a cautious approach to preserve fitness into March.

Overview

  • Allegri said both attackers are expected to be in Thursday's starting lineup pending final checks and noted they are not at peak condition.
  • Pulisic continues to manage a recurring hamstring issue dating to October and still leads Milan with 10 goals in all competitions.
  • Leão has dealt with calf and adductor problems this season and recently scored the winner at Cagliari despite lingering discomfort.
  • The duo have started together only once this season, a 1-0 victory over Inter on November 23.
  • Christopher Nkunku is unavailable against Genoa due to an ankle knock with a possible return targeted for Florence, and new signing Niclas Fullkrug has already made his Serie A debut.
