Milan also had serious injuries, they are currently recovering a few of their players. I don't know how many players they will recruit, but we need more attention and will right now. We are playing an important match at home. We have to hold on to the pitch factor to unleash maximum energy like Milan did. This is football, we have to use the turning points.
What put us in a difficult situation was that four of the five injured players were in the same department, unfortunately it was a coincidence, it is clear that we need to adapt. A 4-man defense can be an option, it is difficult to make mistakes (laughs).
He played a good game on Monday, he's a good reacting kid. Its development continues constantly. As a former Milan player, he will be very motivated.
There was 1 week of training, I expect a very ready team tomorrow. We want to put an end to this series of negative results tomorrow, it is important to me how good the team is. Think about match after match, we should think about every match instead of setting goals for ourselves. We need to rediscover our concentration on the championship, we must try to make the most of it. I don't feel like making any statements or predictions right now.

Stefano Pioli
Manager on MilanSeason Review
There are still a lot of matches to be played before everything is clear, but we need to collect a series of results in Serie A. This is what we aim for; This is our goal and tomorrow is a great chance to do it. We need to be at least in the top four, but we aim higher.
Atalanta
Atalanta are always a difficult team to face. They will fight until the end for Champions League football. We will face a complete team with quality, strong presence, intensity and midfielders. We know they can attack us; We will need to adapt to avoid their pressure. If we want to leave with three points, we will have to perform at our best. De Ketelaere plays in a more offensive role. He is a promising player and if he plays we will have to pay close attention to him when defending.
Injury Status
Stages like this can occur in a season. The more players we have, the better. Our last session today will be important for Leão. Kjær has returned to training but needs to return to full fitness. Okafor's recovery is going well but he will not be able to participate in the match in Bergamo.
