The “curse” of the number 9 also haunts Niclas Fullkrug. The German striker dared to accept this challenge, to wear this jersey, but is forced to “park” immediately in the infirmary as a result of an injury. Transferred to Milan at the end of December, on loan from West Ham, Fullkrug has broken one of his toes. According to preliminary analyses, Fullkrug will stay off the field of play for at least a few weeks. In this way, Allegri must once again do the calculations from scratch, as the coach of the “devil” was thinking of changing the scheme with the future of Fullkrug.

The good news in this difficult time for Milan, where in the last two matches in Serie A they have left 4 points, is the unblocking of Nkunku. In fact, Milan was thinking of selling the Frenchman, for whom there was strong interest from Fenerbahce, but this injury to Fullkrug hinders these negotiations, now in all likelihood, Nkunku will stay in Milan at least until the end of this season.

Another hot topic in Milan is the future of Luca Modric. The Croatian midfielder's contract expires at the end of this season, but a clause allows him to renew for another season. Both parties, Modric and Milan, are very happy with this collaboration, but Modric's age does not allow them to look beyond this season. It will be the player himself who will have the final say, but this decision will only be made after the World Cup.
