Massimiliano Allegri has confirmed that Christian Pulisic will be available for Milan’s Coppa Italia clash with Lazio on Thursday evening, and says that it will be an interesting opportunity to evaluate summer signing Ardon Jashari, who has struggled with injuries and fitness concerns since his €37m move from Club Brugge in August.

An injury to Federico Gatti means that Luciano Spalletti has been left without three of his first-team centre-backs for Sunday’s huge Serie A clash away against reigning champions Napoli, so how could the Bianconeri line up at the back when they take on the Partenopei at the Maradona? 

It has been an eventful few weeks for Italy international Guglielmo Vicario over the last few weeks: From his howler against Fulham to the support he received against Newcastle, and with suggestions that he could be keen on a Serie A return, here is everything that’s happened with the former Empoli goalkeeper over the last few games. 

FIGC President Gabriele Gravina says he won’t be forced to resign if Italy fail to qualify for the World Cup and discusses a new project that will prioritise ‘technique’ over tactics at a youth level.

Raffaele Palladino has decided to rest Ademola Lookman and Ederson, but has decided to keep the majority of his winning Atalanta side together for Wednesday afternoon’s Coppa Italia clash with Genoa at the New Balance Arena. 

Barcelona director Deco has insisted now is not the time to talk about a permanent transfer move for Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford.

Liverpool are continuing to be linked with a potential transfer move for Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, but Barcelona might be another team to watch in the race for his signature.

FIGC President Gabriele Gravina confirms that Roberto Mancini had made himself available to return as Italy coach, while Luciano Spalletti had the ‘reaction of a true Italian’ when he announced his dismissal.

Tottenham coach Thomas Frank is glad that Spurs fans showed support towards Guglielmo Vicario during a 2-2 draw against Newcastle and is ‘pretty sure’ Destiny Udogie didn’t suffer an injury despite limping in the final minutes.

Juventus confirm Federico Gatti suffered a ‘meniscus tear’ in Tuesday’s Coppa Italia game against Udinese, so the Italian defender will need to undergo surgery.
