GdS: Pavlovic still suffering from flu

AC Milan are in Cagliari and is experiencing probably the most unsure pre-match build-ups in recent times.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that Strahinja Pavlovic is presently being monitored most intently as a result of, regardless of final night time’s optimism, the Serbian centre-back continues to be not feeling effectively. The flu that’s bothering him hasn’t gone away, and the afternoon is essential.

If he improves, he’ll play as regular. In any other case, there are two choices: Davide Bartesaghi at left centre-back with Pervis Estupinan at wing-back, or David Odogu as a direct alternative for Pavlovic. As of the early afternoon, there isn’t any certainty.

Niclas Füllkrug, nevertheless, shall be on the bench as anticipated. Milan filed his contract with the Lega Serie A this morning. The membership accomplished the paperwork, and each the Rossoneri and West Ham have issued official statements confirming the switch, so he may be named within the squad.

In Cagliari, subsequently, Massimiliano Allegri could have a brand new No.9. How a lot time will Füllkrug play? Doubtless a snippet within the second half. Allegri made it clear in yesterday’s pre-match press convention that the German is not going to begin.

With Rafael Leao nonetheless not totally recovered from an adductor drawback, it’s clear a change in assault shall be wanted.  Whether or not it’s to defend the consequence or attempt to flip the sport round, we’ll see later this night.
