AC Milan Key Players

Their top scorer, Christian Pulisic, has netted 8 goals this season and will be a key attacking figure. Additionally, Rafael Leão has been productive, with 10 goals and 9 assists in all competitions, adding significant firepower from the wing.

In the midfield, Tijjani Reijnders and Yunus Musah bring energy and creativity, vital for controlling the game. Defensively, Theo Hernandez and newcomer Kyle Walker provide robust defensive skills and attacking support from the flanks.

• Defenders: Kyle Walker, Malick Thiaw, Strahinja Pavlovic, Theo Hernandez
• Midfielders: Warren Bondo, Tijjani Reijnders, Yunus Musah
• Attackers: Christian Pulisic, Rafael Leão, Santiago Giménez

Key individual battles to watch include Pulisic against Como’s strong defensive line and Leão’s speed and trickery against the full-backs.

AC Milan Suspensions & Injuries

AC Milan are currently dealing with a few notable injury concerns that could affect their lineup in the upcoming match against Como.

Injuries:

Player	Injury	Expected return
Emerson Royal	Thigh injury	Doubtful

Emerson Royal is nursing a thigh injury, and his availability for the match is doubtful. This might force Sérgio Conceição to adjust his defensive setup, possibly relying more on Theo Hernandez and Kyle Walker for defensive stability and attacking support from the flanks.

• Midfield Trio: Warren Bondo, Tijjani Reijnders, Christian Pulisic
• Defensive Setup: Kyle Walker, Malick Thiaw, Strahinja Pavlović, Theo Hernandez
• Goalkeeping: Mike Maignan

Sérgio Conceição will likely stick with the 4-2-3-1 formation, a setup he’s consistently used. This formation allows flexibility in both offense and defense.
Key Tactics:

• Attack: Christian Pulisic, the team’s top scorer, will take on a crucial creative role behind centre-forward Santiago Giménez, with Rafael Leão and Yunus Musah providing width.
• Midfield Control: Bondo and Reijnders will focus on both defensive duties and initiating attacks.
• Defense: With right-back Emerson Royal doubtful, Walker and Hernandez will be key to both defensive solidity and attacking support from the flanks.

Milan needs to improve their defensive resilience, having failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five games. The expected lineup emphasizes a balance between attack and defense to secure the crucial home victory.
