    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    There have, however, been calls for Rossoneri boss Stefano Pioli to find more game time for Nigeria international Samuel Chukwueze, while also keeping Portuguese forward Rafael Leao integral to his plans in the final third.

  • WHAT GALLI SAID

    Club legend Filippo Galli believes he may have settled on a system that suits all parties, telling Milan TV ahead of a Europa League quarter-final second leg with Serie A rivals Roma: “Chukwueze starting with Roma could be an idea, but this doesn't mean giving up either Leao or Pulisic and perhaps evaluating whether to move [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek back to midfield: therefore Pulisic as an attacking midfielder. Obviously Pioli is there every day and knows the dynamics, he will be able to make the right choices.”
