Milan's Top 4 hopes hang by a thread vs Genoa

Milan faces a crucial Serie A fixture against Genoa, with their Champions League qualification hopes hanging precariously in the balance. A recent dip in form, earning only seven points from eight rounds, has seen them drop to joint fourth place, alongside Roma. This match is critical to secure a spot in the top four.

Manager Max Allegri faces selection challenges due to suspensions for key players Rafael Leao, Alexis Saelemaekers, and Pervis Estupinan. However, Christian Pulisic returns from a muscular issue, and Luka Modric is back on the bench much earlier than anticipated after surgery. The new attacking partnership of Nkunku and Gimenez will spearhead Milan's efforts against a Genoa side that has already secured their league safety.
