ALLEGRI WELCOMES BRAZILIANS

AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri has suggested that he could be welcoming both the Brazilian strikers Robinho and Alexandre Pato in the next few days. The Brazilian pair are currently out the first team action with an injury. They have not played in a match so far this season. Due to the absence of such quality players, AC Milan have struggled to come to any sort of form in the first few matches of the campaign. In fact, they have just one victory in the matches played so far, which has only served to infuriate the fans even more.

The AC Milan fans are already extremely distraught with the club after seeing a number of high profile players either leave without being offered new contracts or being sold in the case of Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The fans see the club being destroyed in their own eyes. They have expressed their displeasure at the way the club has resisted investment into the new players by not showing an interest in buying the season tickets. As AC Milan prepare to face Inter Milan in the Milan derby, there will be a lot of empty seats because AC Milan fans have not yet purchased tickets for this match.

“Robinho should be fit for Cagliari, while I hope Pato returns in time for the derby,” said the AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri, who has also been criticised by the fans. The 43-year-old is seen by many as a dead man walking before he is eventually replaced by another manager. AC Milan are unlikely to make it into the Champions League spot this season due to the ongoing struggles both on and off the field. As result, revenues are also expected to drop quite significantly over the next few seasons, as they look to rebuild for the future.

ROBINHO RULED OUT

AC Milan have confirmed that the star striker Robinho will be missing for up to a month due to an injury sustained in the leg. Robinho is one of the few recognised players at the club who can play as the striker. Another striker at the club, Alexandre Pato has also been missing from the first team action due to a lot of injuries. The Brazil international Alexandre Pato has suffered a lot of injury problems in his career, which means that the club were relying heavily upon the presence of Robinho. Now, his injury problem will be a major issue for the manager Massimiliano Allegri, who has already been criticised in various quarters for the poor start to the season made by the club.

AC Milan has suffered a serious dip in confidence amongst the fans, who have not even bought the season tickets. They have been extremely frustrated at club being extremely lackadaisical following the sale of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva in the summer. Then, along with many other high profile players have left the club in the summer. Robinho recently sustained an injury in a match against Sampdoria. After the initial scan results, the club has now confirmed that the player will be out for up to 4 weeks due to this injury.

Even though the international break will certainly help AC Milan offset the loss of not being without the Brazilian striker, they will still miss him for a number of crucial matches after the completion of the international break. “Robinho is suffering from first degree strain to the right thigh and is expected to be three to four weeks, save for complications,” said a statement on the official website of the club. Milan recently had a 3-1 win over Bologna, which was followed by the 1-0 defeat against Sampdoria.
