Milan are building quiet momentum in Serie A, sitting fourth with 24 points from 11 games after a 2-1 win at Genoa on November 8, yet the club's situation is more complicated than the standings suggest. The victory, secured through goals from Christian Pulisic and Alphadjo Cisse, steadied nerves after a damaging home defeat to Ferencvaros in the Europa League, and Ruben Amorim's side now trail the top of the table by five points. Cisse's continued impact has reignited debate about his role, but the broader picture is one of a squad stretched thin by injuries. Defenders Pavlovic, Tomori, Gabbia, Saelemaekers and Chukwueze are all sidelined, with Saelemaekers and Chukwueze not expected back until February. That defensive fragility forced Amorim into improvised selections at Genoa and will continue to test his options through November. The January transfer window is shaping up as a critical moment. The club is actively pursuing a striker to partner Gonzalo Ramos, with Nicolo Tresoldi of Club Brugge the primary target at around 60 million euros, though Brugge are reluctant to sell mid-season. Francesco Camarda, given minimal minutes this term, is expected to leave on loan. Off the pitch, owner Gerry Cardinale launched Milan Sports and Entertainment, a new holding company designed to give the club the financial power to compete with Europe's biggest spenders. Milan host Frosinone at San Siro on November 22.
