Olivier Giroud - Starting against Inter Giroud (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Inter Milan.
Impact The Frenchman returned to full training earlier in the week and will lead the attacking line for the derby. He's been outstanding for the Rossoneri to start the season with four goals, one assist and six shots (five on target) in three games.

Mattia Caldara - Suffers ankle injury Caldara "has an ankle problem and probably won't be available for a long period of time," coach Stefano Pioli announced.
Impact Caldara stayed put despite being buried in the depth chart and has been inserted in the UEFA list for technical reasons, but he sustained an ankle problem and won't be an option for the next matches. The club has yet to disclose the full extent of the issue.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Pierre Kalulu - Suffers thigh strain Kalulu sustained a slight strain of the rectus femoris muscle of the left thigh and will be re-evaluated in ten days, Sky announced.
Impact Kalulu was set to replace Fikayo Tomori (suspension) against Inter, but he'll instead be forced to sit out multiple matches after getting hurt in practice. Simon Kjaer, Marco Pellegrino, and Mattia Caldara are next in line in the Milan defense. He's unlikely to be back before three weeks considering the standard timetable.
SEPTEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Olivier Giroud - Set to be fit for Derby Giroud (ankle) returned to full training and will be available Saturday against Inter, Sky informs.
Impact Giroud avoided substantial issues after subbing off during a match with France and shook it off in about a week. He'll most likely be in the XI given the magnitude of the game. He's been on a roll so far with four goals, one assist, and six shots (five on target) in three games.

Olivier Giroud - Subs off in Euro qualifier Giroud was forced to bow out at the 25th minute of Thursday's game against Ireland due to a left ankle injury, La Gazzetta dello Sport informs.
Impact Giroud sounded optimistic in his post-game remarks: "I made a weird movement with the same ankle where I received a blow in the past. It's tender but manageable. It hadn't hurt in weeks. I wanted to continue, but the situation forced me to stop. I'm feeling better, and I'm not too concerned. I'll take some tests soon. It doesn't hurt too badly. I think I will make it for the next Serie A game." Milan will face Inter on September 16. His backups are Luka Jovic and Noah Okafor.

As Lukaku settles at Roma, Leão still making an impact for AC Milan
Rafael Leão's acrobatic goal in AC Milan’s 2-1 win at struggling Roma has extended the Rossoneri’s perfect start to three straight victories in Serie ASEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Tijani Reijnders - Solid attacking output in win Reijnders recorded two shots (one on goal), four crosses (zero accurate) and four corners in Friday's 2-1 victory versus Roma.
Impact Reijnders started and finished a match for the third week in a row, demonstrating his standing in the side despite this being his debut season for Milan. He added two clearances to his two shots (one on target), four corners and four crosses (zero accurate). Reijnders has tallied at least one shot in every game so far this season.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Davide Calabria - Creates first assist of season Calabria assisted once to go with two crosses (one accurate) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 win versus Roma.
Impact Calabria lofted a cross to the back post that was impressively struck in by Rafael Leao to notch his first assist of the year. He also made two tackles (one won) to go with one interception and five clearances against Roma.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Olivier Giroud - Scores fourth in three games Giroud scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Friday's 2-1 win versus Roma.
Impact Giroud converted from the penalty spot after Ruben Loftus-Cheek went down in the box to score his fourth goal of the season. The striker has shown no signs of slowing down in his 36th year, although he has been subbed off in each game so far this season which is presumably to keep him fresh as Milan compete for major honors on multiple fronts this year.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Leao - Bags first goal of season Leao scored one goal to go with two shots (one on goal), one cross (zero accurate) and two chances created in Friday's 2-1 win over Roma.
Impact Leao started against Roma despite being on the injury report prior to kickoff and had two shots for the third week running in addition to his goal. Leao's goal contributions have increased each season since joining Milan before the 2019 season and he once again will be a crucial cog in their attack this season.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Mike Maignan - One save against Roma Maignan registered one save and allowed one goal in Friday's 2-1 win versus Roma.
Impact Maignan had a quiet night against a Roma team that didn't threaten often and was unfortunate to concede a goal from a shot that deflected off of Pierre Kalulu. He will look for his second clean sheet of the season against Inter on Saturday after the international break.
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Fikayo Tomori - Sent off Friday Tomori was shown two yellow cards and sent off during the second half of Friday's clash with Roma.
Impact Tomori will be suspended for at least one match due to the sending off. The defender will serve that suspension during a Sept. 16 Milan derby, a major match to miss. Simon Kjaer or Pierre Kalulu could get the start in central defense,
SEPTEMBER 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Rafael Leao - Starting against Roma Leao (ankle) was named to the starting XI versus Roma on Friday.
Impact Leao will make his third consecutive start for the club to open the season, having registered one assist, four shots (two on target) and six crosses (three accurate) in his prior two outings. As long as Leao can avoid any serious injuries, he should be a mainstay in the starting XI for Milan this season, slotting into the forward role on the left side of the pitch.

Luka Jovic - Heads to Milan Jovic has joined Milan on a permanent move from Fiorentina, the Serie A site announces.
Impact Jovic was no longer part of the plans for Fiorentina following their offensive moves, while he'll back up Olivier Giroud, along with Noah Okafor, at his new club. He was passable last season, recording six goals, three assists, 57 shots (20 on target), and 23 chances created in 31 appearances (16 starts).
