Milan is preparing to face Dudelange in the Europa League tomorrow evening in what will be a crucial match for the rossoneri. A win would put them in a much better position to qualify for the next round of the competition. Their manager, Gennaro Gattuso, spoke ahead of the match at a press conference: "We must not underestimate our opponents, we play a lot: we are stronger than they are and must not make a fool of ourselves, we will risk paying the consequences. We are missing strong players but the group is strengthened, the group is healthy. The guys are great. They put on their shoes to go up the mountain."
"Bonaventura? I heard from him, before and after the surgery. Now he will stay a month in the United States, he will be out for 8-9 months. Romagnoli I hope to have back in two weeks, Caldara we will see on the field in February. Bakayoko? His performances have gotten better after the injury to Biglia, he has had this opportunity to play more regularly and has gained confidence. Higuain? He is a strong player and knows how the locker rooms works. He is one that has fun and takes part in the group, they listen to him."
