Milan and Atalanta Suffer Blows Ahead of Crunch Matches | OneFootball

Milan and Atalanta will be without at least one key piece as they take on Juventus and Napoli respectively over the weekend, likely more as it pertains to the Rossoneri. Alvaro Morata and Sead Kolasinac were one yellow card away from disqualification heading into Tuesday’s make-up matches. They were both booked.

The Spaniard picked up an injury as well, but it is minor. He exited the Como tilt at halftime. Christian Pulisic and Malick Thiaw bowed out due to thigh issues, Sky informs. The winger is nursing some muscle fatigue, while the defender suffered a biceps femoris lesion and will be re-evaluated in ten days.

Milan and Atalanta risk being severely depleted ahead of the two key matches. La Dea will also have to evaluate Giorgio Scalvini, who subbed off versus Juventus due to discomfort in his knee. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini had encouraging remarks on that, indicating it could be just a knock.

The Orobici recently lost Odilon Kossounou to a serious thigh injury. He’ll have a consult in Barcelona because he damaged a tendon. He’ll be examined by a specialist to verify whether he needs surgery to repair it. It would knock him out for multiple months, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.

The Rossoneri mounted their third late comeback in four matches since Conceiçao took over on Tuesday. They have almost closed the gap with the slumping Fiorentina. Both sides have played the same amount of matches. They are three points below Juventus with one game in hand.

While Milan fully exploited the make-up tilt, Atalanta shared the spoils for the third bout in a row, failing to move significantly closer to the league toppers Napoli.
