Boateng might have a fractured rib. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

My god...8 players already out, and the season only counts 2 matches. When will Milan ever get a break? I can't recall such a perpetuated continuation of first team players missing at any other strong Italian side.

Now all we need is Pato getting injured as well...

Or Nesta. Just name it.

But isn't it ridiculous - people went harping on and on how we are well covered in the striker aerial, calling Cassano almost a surplus. And now look - not even two Serie A legs played and we're already reduced to 2 strikers.

I think at some point the medical team has to be questioned. This is getting beyond rediculous, being unlucky is one thing, but this is beyond that, this is looking at a recurring problem that we cannot continue to blame on our luck

Don't fret guys, we have Stephan El Shaarawy to count on. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) I know he's not an all-out striker, but no better time to try him as part of the attack and see what happens. As long as we have at least four fit legs for our forward line, it's still better than the creative part of our midfield - that is until and unless Allegri puts his faith in Aquaman for good.

Allegri: "Boateng doesn't have a fractured rib, but only a strain at the oblique muscle".

Thank god! Boateng is the only player I would never want to see injured. He's very important to our game. Forza Boa!

Called up players:

Abbiati, Amelia, Roma, Abate, Antonini, Bonera, Nesta, Taiwo, Thiago Silva, Yepes, Aquilani, Emanuelson, Nocerino, Seedorf, Valoti (57), Van Bommel, Carmona (55), Cassano, El-Shaarawy, Ganz (56), Pato.

No Zambrotta.

Zambro must have some fit issues too if he's not even in the squad. Hope maybe Taiwo will be reday to go from the start.

Would be awesome to see you Ganz.

Where's Calvano (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Good chance we get to see Ganz on the bench. Cassano and Pato possibly starting, El Shaarawy and Ganz as backup forwards (El SHaarawy seems to be a supporting striker rather than an attacking midfielder). And Pato and Ganz are the only strikers called up, right?

And Cassano.

I think we'll most likely see the line-up being predicted by Gazzetta and mediaset. It's not like Allegri has many options atm. Hopefully we don't get another couple of injured players in this one

We still have a good enough roster to squeeze out a draw at least.


My 11:


------Abbiati------

-abate--nesta-silva-taiwo

--nocerino-Van B--Seedorf

---------Aquilani----------

---Pato---------cassano


bench:

Eman
El Sha
Ganz
Bonera
Antonini
Yepes
Amelia

Napoli will be missing Lavezzi, when one of their big 3 is out they struggle. I think we should go there to win this, we still have a great 11, even with all those injuries. I'm hoping we don't screw this up and get our first 3 points in the league. Another draw will set us back, when we should be capitalising on the other big team's failures

Mediaset has Bonera instead of Antonini on the left, and Lavezzi might probably play for Napoli. Still, I think we can win this.
