Milan will have to do without Franck Kessie, Alessio Romagnoli and Davide Calabria against Genoa, as they’ll be suspended after the Supercoppa.

The Rossoneri were beaten 1-0 in Jeddah by Juventus this evening and it proved costly going forward in Serie A too.

Kessie was shown a straight red card after a VAR review for his stamp on Emre Can, meaning his ban of at least one match is automatic.

Gennaro Gattuso was irritated at officials after Milan lost the Supercoppa to Juventus and insisted Gonzalo Higuain had a fever, but wouldn’t discuss the Chelsea rumours.

Cristiano Ronaldo got the only goal in Jeddah with a glancing header, although Franck Kessie was later sent off via a VAR review for his stamp on Emre Can.

“We have to compliment the team, as I said in the Press conference we had to climb a mountain and we tried,” the Coach told Rai Sport.

Franck Kessie says Gennaro Gattuso is a ‘great’ Coach and that Milan ‘believe’ in Gonzalo Higuain’s ability to fire them into the Champions League.

Gattuso has guided Milan to within a point of Serie A’s top four at the midway point of the season, while Higuain recently ended a two-month goal drought to score the winner against SPAL.

“Gattuso’s a great Coach,” Kessie told Calcio2000.

Chelsea believe they can snatch Franck Kessie from Milan for around €40-50m, perhaps in part-exchange for Tiemoue Bakayoko.

According to Tuttomercatoweb and La Gazzetta dello Sport, Maurizio Sarri aims to make the most of the delicate financial situation the Rossoneri find themselves in.

The Ivorian just turned 22 last month and joined Milan from Atalanta on a loan deal worth €8m in 2017 with obligation to buy for a further €24m in July 2019.

Milan have recalled Tiemoue Bakayoko and Franck Kessie for Wednesday’s Serie A trip to Frosinone, but Suso does not make it.

Bakayoko and Kessie return from bans to swell a depleted Milan midfield, which also consists of outcasts Jose Mauri and Riccardo Montolivo, plus youngster Emanuele Torrasi.

However, Suso is not included in the squad due to ‘not recovering from physical problems’, writes Calciomercato.com.

Several of Atalanta's young players disappointed after they were signed by the big teams, but Coach Gian Piero Gasperini feels it all comes down to “bad luck” and “different objectives.”

La Dea have long been hailed as one of the outstanding teams in Serie A when it comes to developing youth. However, players like Leonardo Spinazzoli at Juventus, Mattia Caldara at Milan and Bryan Cristante at Roma, all turned out to be relatively disappointing.

Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly has been omitted from the shortlist for the 2018 African Player of the Year, but Juventus’ Medhi Benatia is in.

Koulibaly’s exclusion has been heavily criticised on social media, given he helped Napoli finish second in Serie A last season, represented Senegal at the World Cup and is considered one of the world’s best centre-backs on current form.

Franck Kessie and Samu Castillejo are out of the Milan squad taking on Dudelange in the Europa League.

Castillejo was sent off in the defeat to Real Betis and received a two-match UEFA ban, so is still suspended.

Kessie is not fully fit, so Jose Mauri and Andrea Bertolacci are expected to start at San Siro tomorrow.

Diego Laxalt was tested at left-back rather than Ricardo Rodriguez.

Gonzalo Higuain is banned in Serie A, but still available for the Europa League, so should play with Patrick Cutrone in a 4-4-2 formation.
