Milan: who will start against Torino in place of Leao?

Milan will be without Rafael Leao due to injury for tomorrow’s match – Saturday 21 March 2026 – which will see the Rossoneri take on Torino at home at San Siro, kicking off at 6.00 pm.

Massimiliano Allegri will not have the problem of having to field Leao and Pulisic together following the issues they faced on the pitch in recent matches, but he will still have to decide who will take the injured Portuguese player’s place.

ALL THE OPTIONS
At this stage, Pulisic is the undisputed first-choice starter for the match, and Allegri’s main decision will be who to pair with the American up front. With Santiago Gimenez recovering but not yet back to full fitness, the list of alternatives is down to two: Niklas Fullkrug and Christopher Nkunku.

TESTED BY FULLKRUG
The 3-5-2 remains Allegri’s go-to formation and, consequently, against a defence like Torino’s – which is very physical – the first choice for the attack, as tested in today’s training session, was to pair Fullkrug with Pulisic. However, the German striker is not yet at 100 per cent either, and a rotation with Nkunku is already planned.
