Milan Faces Injury Crisis as Fiorentina Seeks First League Win

As of October 19th, 2025, AC Milan and Fiorentina are set to face off in a crucial Serie A match at the San Siro. The Rossoneri will be looking to extend their impressive unbeaten run, but they must do so without several key players.

Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri is dealing with a significant injury crisis following the international break. Top scorer Christian Pulisic is out after sustaining a hamstring injury while on duty with the United States, and he is expected to miss at least the next three matches. Allegri must also cope without midfielder Adrien Rabiot and left-back Pervis Estupinan, both of whom picked up injuries while representing their respective national teams.

On the other side, Fiorentina manager Stefano Pioli faces an emotional reunion with his former club, but he has a significant doubt over his main striker, Moise Kean. The forward is in a race against time to be fit for the match after suffering a sprain, although medical tests have shown no sign of a lesion.

Fiorentina's early-season form has been a cause for deep concern, as they are still winless after six Serie A matchdays. This marks their worst start to a top-flight season since 1977. The Viola have already dropped eight points from winning positions and are languishing just outside the relegation zone.

Despite their struggles, Allegri has defended Pioli, stating that Fiorentina "have excellent quality, with players who can score goals" and that they "don't deserve the points they have earned; they deserve more."
