The midfield is also missing a veteran presence, as Luka Modric is ruled out for the rest of the campaign with a fractured cheekbone.

Following a disappointing run of form, Allegri is expected to make up to six changes to his starting XI.
This shake-up will likely see Santiago Gimenez and Christian Pulisic spearheading the attack, as Milan desperately searches for the clinical edge needed to secure a vital victory at San Siro.
Atalanta team news
Atalanta arrives at San Siro in a much more stable position, boasting a squad that is nearly at full strength. The only definitive absentee is Lorenzo Bernasconi, who remains sidelined with a knee injury.
There were minor concerns regarding the fitness of Isak Hien and Gianluca Scamacca due to muscle fatigue, but both have undergone late fitness tests and are expected to play a role with the latter ready to lead the line.
Charles De Ketelaere, the former AC Milan player, is set to make his 100th Serie A appearance for Atalanta and will likely start in the “hole” behind the strikers.
With a potent frontline featuring Scamacca and Nikola Krstovic, Atalanta looks well-prepared to exploit a rotated Milan defence and solidify their European aspirations.
Form
AC Milan
AC Milan is struggling through a difficult patch, having won only one of their last five Serie A fixtures. Their recent 2-0 defeat to Sassuolo highlighted growing defensive vulnerabilities and a lack of clinical finishing. This inconsistent form has placed immense pressure on Massimiliano Allegri, forcing tactical shifts to regain momentum. Currently sitting precariously in the European spots, the Rossoneri need a decisive turnaround at San Siro to keep their Champions League spot safe
Atalanta
Atalanta arrives in high spirits, maintaining an impressive unbeaten streak over their last four matches. They are also unbeaten against Milan in their last six head-to-head matches, winning four of them. They come to this match after a 0-0 stalemate against Genoa even after recording 1.96 xG in the match.
