Milan and Torino prepare for Serie A opener amid injuries and transfers

AC Milan and Torino are preparing for their upcoming Serie A clash amidst roster changes and injury concerns. AC Milan's Ruben Amorim may start Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze, especially as Christian Pulisic's availability is uncertain due to a recent injury.

Milan faces a significant setback with Rafael Leão, who is sidelined with a quadriceps injury. His absence affects both the upcoming match against Manchester United and potentially the league opener against Torino. The club is also monitoring Leão's future through upcoming discussions with Gerry Cardinale.

Torino, led by Ignazio Abate, is finalizing its lineup for a Coppa Italia debut against Carrarese. While Gvidas Gineitis is a likely starter in midfield, the club is also navigating the transfer market. Red Bull Salzburg has expressed interest in Gineitis and Alieu Njie, with a potential deal worth approximately 20-25 million euros being considered to balance the club's finances.
