AC Milan Face Genoa Without Three Defenders as Injury Problems Mount

AC Milan will be without three defenders for their upcoming Serie A match against Genoa. Strahinja Pavlović has been ruled out by a medical problem, joining Matteo Gabbia and Fikayo Tomori on the unavailable list.

Pavlović has experienced severe colic and is not fit to travel despite attempting to recover in time. With Gabbia and Tomori also absent, Amorim faces limited defensive options. The supplied report suggests Milan could use Gila at right-back, with Diawara and Koni De Winter centrally, although the starting lineup has not been confirmed.

Why It Matters

Three defensive absences force Milan to adjust their back line as they seek to recover from their Europa League defeat.
