Noah Okafor - Comes in late versus Napoli Okafor had one inaccurate cross and one clearance in nine minutes in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Napoli.

Impact Okafor saw very limited action despite Milan being undermanned offensively and Christian Pulisic subbing off at half-time as he probably couldn't play much more due to his recent physical problem. He should be in better shape for Saturday's game versus Udinese.

Pierre Kalulu - Poised for lenghty absence Kalulu ruptured the left tendon femoris tendon and will have a surgical consult, La Gazzetta dello Sport reported.

Impact Kalulu might have to go under the knife and will miss multiple weeks no matter what route he and the team picks for the rehab. FIkayo Tomori, Malick Thiaw, Simon Kjaer, and Marco Pellegrino will be the choices in the middle of the defense while he's out, while Davide Calabria and Alessandro Florenzi will play at right-back.

Impact Pulisic had a very solid first half but didn't emerge from the locker room, as the coach decided not to take any risks. He was replaced by Luka Romero. Noah Okafor will also be an option to replace him if he had to miss time.

Simon Kjaer - Will miss Napoli clash Kjaer won't be an option against Napoli Sunday due to muscle fatigue, SportMediaset informed.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Noah Okafor - Good to go for Napoli clash Okafor (thigh) "is fit and available for Sunday," coach Stefano Pioli relayed.

OCTOBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

He needs just one extra step before being back in the squad," coach Stefano Pioli informed. He'll have a full week to recuperate ahead of the next fixture. Yunus Musah or Tommaso Pobega will take his place once again.
