AC Milan Team News

In their recent competitive match, AC Milan lost to Inter away with a score of 5-1. The Milan derby brought a total debacle for the visiting team, with the home team already having a doubled lead in the first half. In the 57th minute, Olivier Giroud nicely set up Rafael Leao, who scored to reduce the host’s lead. However, just twelve minutes later, Inter scored another goal, and in the 79th minute, they increased their lead once again. The final score was set in injury time.

Before this match, AC Milan played three league games, in which they secured all victories. They triumphed over Bologna, Torino, and Roma. They currently hold the third position in the table with nine points, one less than the second-placed Juventus.

One minor positive for Milan at the weekend was that no more players entered the infirmary with injuries, although coach Stefano Pioli was without center-back Pierre Kalulu due to a thigh concern, which could keep him out for several weeks, while Ismael Bennacer is on the long road to recovery from knee surgery. Suspended Fikayo Tomori helplessly watched from the sidelines as the Nerazzurri obliterated the Rossoneri, but the English international is eligible to return on Tuesday and could replace Malick Thiaw, who disappointed this weekend.

Christian Pulisic was also largely unnoticed during the derby, so Samuel Chukwueze may be in Pioli’s considerations for a start alongside Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud, who managed to play 77 minutes on Saturday despite an injury picked up while playing for France on international duty.

Newcastle Team News

Newcastle won their last match against Brentford at home with a score of 1-0. The match was quite balanced, and the victory was secured by Callum Wilson from the penalty spot in the 64th minute after Anthony Gordon earned the penalty. After that goal, the score remained unchanged.

So far this season, Newcastle has recorded two wins and three losses. In addition to the victory over Brentford, they also defeated Aston Villa but were beaten by Manchester City, Liverpool, and Brighton. They currently occupy the eleventh position in the table with six points, seven less than fourth-placed Arsenal.

Sandro Tonali, whose reunion with Milan was in jeopardy when he sustained an injury during the international break, managed to sit on the bench against Brentford and should be reintroduced into the starting XI this week. However, neither Joe Willock nor Emil Krafth will be involved in their side’s Champions League opener, while manager Eddie Howe has conceded that Joelinton will not be available for Tuesday’s encounter due to the knee injury he picked up while playing for Brazil.

With the expected swift return of Tonali, 20-year-old Elliot Anderson will surely drop out of the XI. At the same time, a refreshed Alexander Isak should be given the nod in the number nine role over Callum Wilson, despite the latter’s winning spot kick at the weekend.
