Milan announced Ignazio Abate is likely to miss Sunday’s trip to Juventus with a thigh problem.
The full-back had come out of Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Viktoria Plzen with a knock and recovery time has been slower than expected.

“AC Milan announce that Ignazio Abate is suffering from a thigh problem that has prevented him from taking part in yesterday’s and today’s training sessions,” read a statement on the club website.

“Over the next few days his condition will be re-evaluated through further medical tests.”

This suggests it is highly unlikely Abate will be able to recover in time for the Sunday night Serie A clash with Juventus.

Also expected to miss out are Robinho, Alexandre Pato, Gennaro Gattuso, Massimo Ambrosini, Philippe Mexes, Mathieu Flamini and Kingsley Boateng.

Without Abate, Milan is finished...

TBH Abate is probably more important than any one else, as the have ittle depth in that area apart form Zambrotta. Mexes, Flamini and Kingey Boateng are all bench players, and to replace the others you have, Ibra, Cassano, Nocerino (Italian international), MvB.



Aquilani also on the bench
Still a difficult team to beat

EDIT: Seedorf will also play a part
