Milan arrives at Udinese with injury list that limits Amorim

Ruben Amorim was already dealing with several absences before the clash against Udinese, but the 3-0 defeat to Bournemouth in the Europa League increased the pressure, leaving AC Milan even more weakened for the eighth round of Serie A.

Injuries increase list before Udinese

Mario Gila, Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira joined the list of absences. Gila suffers inflammation due to overload in his left ankle, Rabiot shows fatigue in his right calf and Moreira has fatigue in his left flexor. In addition, Matteo Gabbia, Samuel Chukwueze and Alexis Saelemaekers have already missed the Rossoneri's recent games.

Strahinja Pavlovic and Ruben Loftus‑Cheek are still uncertain, forcing Amorim to rely on young players from AC Milan's academy. The lack of options forces the Portuguese coach to rethink the lineup for the match in Udine.

The Rossoneri sit in fifth place in Serie A with 15 points, maintaining an unbeaten record in the competition so far. Despite the injuries, the team preserves its unbeaten run in the league, which raises the importance of the upcoming clash.

The situation highlights Amorim's dilemma between maintaining the unbeaten streak and dealing with the shortage of regular starters. The next duel against Udinese will be decisive to gauge the squad's depth.
