PISA, ITALY – FEBRUARY 13: Luka Modric and Ruben Loftus-Cheek of AC Milan greet the fans after the Serie A match between Pisa SC and AC Milan at Arena Garibaldi.
AC Milan is gearing up to face Como at San Siro this evening, with the Rossoneri aiming to apply pressure on league leaders Inter and keep pace in the Scudetto race. Unfortunately, Ruben Loftus-Cheek will be absent from the lineup, as Christopher Nkunku prepares to partner with Rafael Leao in the attacking front.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 19:45 GMT (20:45 CET) and presents an intriguing challenge against a tough Como side, managed by Cesc Fabregas.
Sky Sport, citing information from CalcioMercato, has reported that Loftus-Cheek is struggling with fitness issues and is not in suitable condition to start for Milan. This news comes as a setback for the club, given that Loftus-Cheek has found the back of the net in consecutive games while featuring in the attacking duo.
With Loftus-Cheek sidelined, Nkunku will be stepping into the spotlight. Despite his inconsistent performances since joining from Chelsea last summer, Massimiliano Allegri will be hoping this is the moment Nkunku finds his form, particularly in what could be a crucial match for the team’s Scudetto aspirations.
Fans will be eager to see how the Rossoneri adapt to this latest challenge, and if Nkunku can rise to the occasion. The match against Como could turn out to be a decisive point in Milan’s pursuit of the title, keeping fans hopeful for a positive outcome.
