AC Milan will face Hellas Verona at San Siro on Sunday in a Serie A match, with the home team looking to leverage their advantage at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza.
Milan currently holds second place in the standings with 32 points and could move to first if they secure a victory.
The team has won four of their last six league matches, although recent draws against Sassuolo and Parma have hindered their progress.
In their latest Serie A encounter, Milan drew 2-2 with Sassuolo after leading 2-1. Despite this, they remain unbeaten in the league since their surprising loss on the first day of the season.
AC Milan team news
Coach Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that Rafael Leão will not play against Verona due to an ongoing thigh injury. The Portuguese forward has been key to Milan’s attack this season, but injuries have limited his playtime.
Defender Matteo Gabbia will also miss this match after sustaining a knee injury in the draw with Sassuolo. He is expected to be sidelined for the upcoming match against Cagliari as well. Koni De Winter is likely to take his place alongside Fikayo Tomori and Strahinja Pavlovic in defense.

In attack, Christopher Nkunku and Christian Pulisic are set to lead Milan’s forward line in Leão’s absence, with Pulisic having a strong season, scoring seven goals in 10 Serie A matches, making him one of the most effective players in the league.
