The stage is set for a major Serie A showdown on Tuesday as Atalanta welcomes AC Milan.
The hosts are currently the only undefeated side in Serie A this season. Milan, meanwhile, travel to Bergamo searching for a response after dropping points against Pisa last time out.
AC Milan team news
AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri faces selection headaches, with several important players unavailable. Christian Pulisic continues his recovery from a hamstring issue and is set to sit out for a fifth straight fixture, with a return only expected after the international break, in November.
Midfielder Adrien Rabiot is still sidelined due to a calf injury and will require more time before rejoining the squad and starting training. There are hopes that both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Pervis Estupinan might pass late fitness tests; Loftus-Cheek is dealing with muscle fatigue while Estupinan is managing an ankle injury. Further information to be available after the pre-match conference is available
Youngster Ardon Jashari remains out after being absent since early August and is not ready to feature in this encounter. In form for Milan is Rafael Leao, who has struck four times in his last five appearances — netting in back-to-back home matches and providing much of Milan’s attacking spark.
