AC Milan Vs Inter Milan – Two Rossoneri Defenders At Risk Of Missing … — and more

AC Milan stars Matteo Gabbia and Davide Bartesaghi are reportedly at risk of missing Sunday’s Serie A clash against Inter.

According to Sky Sport Italia via FCInterNews, the question marks are hovering over both defenders’ heads.

Inter and Milan will renew hostilities in the second Derby della Madonnina edition of the season this weekend.

Despite emerging victorious in November’s reverse fixture, Massimiliano Allegri’s men are trailing the Nerazzurri by a whopping ten points.

Therefore, Cristian Chivu could all but secure the Scudetto in his first season at the club with a win on Sunday.

Matteo Gabbia missed Milan’s last-gasp league win at Cremonese last Sunday due to a thigh injury.

However, the Rossoneri had hoped to welcome their defensive cornerstone back for the upcoming Milan derby.

Unfortunately for Allegri, this fixture will come too soon for the Italian center-back.

Meanwhile, Bartesaghi suffered a knock at Stadio Giovanni Zini, and Allegri is sweating over his fitness.

If the Milan academy graduate don’t recover, Pervis Estupinan is likely to take his place on the left wing.
