AC Milan faces intense schedule starting with Sassuolo away match

AC Milan prepares for a demanding period of competition, beginning with a Serie A away match against Sassuolo on October 11. Manager Ruben Amorim faces a grueling schedule, with the team set to play seven to nine matches in approximately three to four weeks across Serie A and the Europa League.

Preparation is complicated by several factors. Amorim has only three training sessions available following the international break to refine tactics. The squad is also dealing with injuries to key players, including Alexis Saelemaekers and Pervis Estupiñán, necessitating significant rotation.

Historically, Sassuolo has proven to be a difficult opponent for Milan at the Mapei Stadium. Ahead of the match, Sassuolo announced that the away section for the stadium is already sold out. Amorim has expressed his readiness to handle the high expectations and inevitable criticism as the team enters this high-intensity phase of the season.
