Amorim is studying Cisse.

AC Milan has departed for England ahead of their Europa League match against Bournemouth facing significant squad shortages due to injuries. Chukwueze is sidelined with a hip issue, while Simon Kjaer reported calf muscle fatigue that will likely keep him out until the upcoming derby. These absences join previous suspensions or injuries affecting Gabbia and Saelemaekers, leaving manager Ruben Amorim with limited options for substitutions. The team plans to field Hutchinson at center-back and potentially use Cisse as the main striker, drawing from the U21 setup where he previously played in that role. Midfielders Luka Modric and Adrien Rabiot are also unavailable, forcing the inclusion of Jashari, Musah, and Loftus-Cheek into the starting lineup. The tight schedule requires immediate preparation for a subsequent away fixture in Udine upon return.

AC Milan arrived in England for its European League match against AFC Bournemouth without several key players due to injuries. Manager Ruben Amorim faces severe squad shortages ahead of this fixture and a subsequent trip to Udine. The club departed without Chukwuemeka and Rafael Leao, who suffered an ankle issue and muscle fatigue respectively. Additional absences include Gabbia and Saelemaekers. The injury list expanded before the domestic match at Udinese. Spanish defender Mario Gila missed the game with inflammation in his left ankle caused by overloading. Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira were ruled out by calf and hamstring fatigue, respectively. These setbacks forced Amorim to alter his planned starting lineup significantly. Amorim’s tactical adjustments included placing Pavlovic alongside De Winter in defense, moving Tomori to the left side to replace Gila, and adding Bartesaghi to the backline. In midfield, Musah and Modric featured alongside Jashari. Up front, Pulisic and Cisse operated behind Ramos. Bench options were limited to Hutchinson and Camarda. For the Bournemouth match, Hutchinson replaced Chukwuemeka. Cisse was considered for the center forward role, having played there previously in the U21 team under Baldini, while Camarda remained on the bench. The tight schedule meant Milan had little time to prepare for the Udine match after returning from England. The absence of Modric and Rabiot from the central midfield unit pushed Jashari, Musah, and Loftus-Cheek into the mix, with the latter deployed as a third midfielder similar to his role in Salzburg. The situation has highlighted the need for reinforcements during the January transfer window to provide Amorim with adequate substitutes. Potential targets include Athekame. The upcoming fixtures present a challenging period for the squad, with limited rotation options available for both the European competition and Serie A commitments.
