France forward Nkunku leaves AC Milan to return to Leipzig where he was most prolific

France forward Christopher Nkunku has returned on a loan deal to Leipzig where he had the most prolific seasons of his career

AUGUST 25 • Associated Press

Christian Pulisic - DNP in opener Pulisic (lower leg) didn't get minutes in Sunday's 2-1 win over Torino.

Impact Pulisic was an option after rehabbing throughout the summer, but the coach leaned on players in better form as Milan didn't manage to put the game away. He'll likely operate behind Adrien Rabiot, Alexis Saelemakers, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Alphadjo Cisse until he's fully healthy.

Rabiot ready to embrace Amorim's style at AC Milan Adrien Rabiot helped Ruben Amorim get off to a winning start as AC Milan boss, and the Frenchman is ready to lead by example this season.

Goncalo Ramos - Inefficient in Serie A debut Ramos recorded five shots (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win over Torino.

Impact Ramos lacked the aim to convert a game-high total of shots into goals during his first league match since joining Milan from PSG in the summer transfer window. He'll look to get back on track in future contests, with many opportunities likely to come for him throughout the year as he carries a big share of the offensive hopes of a team that is expected to let go of its other strikers Santiago Gimenez and Christopher Nkunku.

Alphadjo Cisse - Scores goal versus Torino Cisse scored one goal to go with four shots (one on goal), six crosses (one accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 win against Torino.

Impact Cisse controlled a ball inside the box and fired a great shot to the far post, opening the score during the 64th minute of the victory. He also generated four fouls drawn while winning six of his 10 duels before being replaced by Alexis Saelemaekers. With a goal in both the last practice match and the Serie A opener, Cisse has become a notable presence in the Rossoneri attack. Moreover, his fantasy appeal is boosted by the fact that he took a couple of set pieces when Luka Modric was off the field.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Samuel Chukwueze - Provides assist in win Chukwueze assisted once to go with two shots (one on goal), eight crosses (three accurate) and one corner in Sunday's 2-1 victory over Torino.

Impact Chukwueze led his team with eight crosses and four chances created, one of which set up Adrien Rabiot for the second goal of the game in the 66th minute. The attacker, now deployed in a wing-back position, got off to a superb start in the 2026/27 campaign, with crossing accuracy adding to his usual dribbling value. He had previously scored one goal and assisted twice during the final preseason game against Manchester United, and the encouraging league display should further boost his chances of retaining high playing time in upcoming matches.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Adrien Rabiot - Scores, assists off bench Rabiot scored one goal and assisted once from one shot and one chance created in Sunday's 2-1 win versus Torino.

Impact Rabiot served as a game-changing substitute as he delivered the pass that led to Alphadjo Cisse's 64th-minute goal before making the score sheet himself by finishing Samuel Chukwueze's cross in the 66th of the game. The central midfielder is returning from a short break after reaching the late World Cup stages with France, so it was natural that he saw limited playing time in the opening league clash. He'll now look to regain an edge over Ruben Loftus-Cheek in the contention for a No. 10 spot.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Luka Modric - Appears as substitute against Torino Modric had two crosses (one accurate) and two corners in Sunday's 2-1 win over Torino.

Impact Modric was expected to start after being active in offseason friendly games, but he was instead given 34 minutes of play as Ardon Jashari's backup. While the season opener may have come too soon for the veteran to make a full-match performance, he remains one of the team's midfield leaders, capable of making a difference through attacking play generation and long-range shooting. He's also likely to retain set-piece duties after taking two corner kicks over his short time on the field Sunday.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Pervis Estupinan - Creates two chances in win Estupinan generated one shot (zero on goal), two crosses (two accurate) and two chances created in Sunday's 2-1 win against Torino.

Impact Estupinan got the nod over Davide Bartesaghi as a wing-back and earned decent playmaking numbers while helping his team concede no goals over the 66 minutes he played in Sunday's clash. After seeing his first season with Milan limited by injuries and rotations, Estupinan could now have a chance to show what he's capable of as a two-way performer on the left flank, but he might continue to split playing time with Bartesaghi.

AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE

Mike Maignan - Beaten once in opener Maignan registered no saves and allowed one goal in Sunday's 2-1 win against Torino.

Impact Maignan had a poor outing as he failed to stop the only shot on target he faced, which came in the late stages of the game against Torino. It was his first appearance since the disappointing end to his participation in the 2026 World Cup with the French national team. Before that, he averaged 2.9 saves per game and secured 13 clean sheets over 37 matches during the last Serie A competition, so he'll look to bounce back to achieve similar numbers in the current season. Up next is a home fixture versus Venezia, which appears to be one of the more manageable matchups in the initial stretch of the schedule.

Torino 1-2 AC Milan: Rabiot inspires opening-day win for Amorim Ruben Amorim made a winning start to life in Serie A as second-half goals from Alphadjo Cisse and Adrien Rabiot saw off Torino on Sunday.

AUGUST 23 • BEINSPORTS.COM

Christian Pulisic - Bench option Pulisic (lower leg) is on the bench for Sunday's match against Torino.

Impact Pulisic has been training in recent weeks following an injury and is ready to go for the season opener, although he is on the bench. He started in 18 of his 30 appearances last season and will likely challenge for a starting time in the coming matches, recording eight goals and four assists last campaign.

AUGUST 23 • ROTOWIRE

Amorim: It is not that Milan want to win, we need to win AC Milan begin their Serie A campaign against Torino on Sunday, and Ruben Amorim understands the importance of starting with three points.

AUGUST 22 • BEINSPORTS.COM

Christian Pulisic - Good to go for opener Pulisic (lower leg) hasn't had any hiccups since he began to ramp up and will be part of the squad to face Torino on Sunday, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Pulisic will most likely be a bench option after rehabbing from a significant lower-leg injury for the past two months. He'll eventually be a fixture once fully healthy. He had a fast start in 2025/2026 but progressively abated and fell into a slump, recording eight goals, four assists, 54 shots (25 on target) and 38 key passes in 30 showings (18 starts).

AUGUST 22 • ROTOWIRE

Rafael Leao - Will miss Torino game Leao (thigh) "isn't ready to play at this stage. We'll see for the next match," coach Ruben Amorim announced.

Impact Leao will skip at least one fixture because of a minor thigh problem and will have a handful of days to recover for Friday's home game against Venezia. Instead, Christian Pulisic (lower leg) is available despite not being 100 percent. Two among Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Alphadjo Cisse, Alexis Saelemaekers and Adrien Rabiot will support Goncalo Ramos.

Santiago Gimenez - Not training with the group Gimenez has recovered from his ankle injury but hasn't been integrated into the first team because he's set to leave, Tuttomercatoweb reported.

Impact Gimenez has healed up after getting hurt in the last World Cup game but isn't part of the plans for next season and is currently in talks with Porto. Francesco Camarda will deputize Goncalo Ramos for the time being.

AUGUST 20 • Associated Press

Diego Moreira - Dealt to AC Milan Moreira has completed a transfer to AC Milan from Strasbourg, according to his former club.

Impact Moreira is on the move this offseason despite looking to be set for a starting role with Strasbourg, instead transferring to AC Milan in Italy. He is coming off two breakout seasons with Strasbourg, where he started in 52 of his 59 appearances while bagging six goals and 13 assists. As a versatile player, he will open up plenty of options for Milan moving forward, able to play on either flank or in a central attacking role. However, Milan does have plenty of midfielder's nd rotate often, so he will need to compete for minutes.

Christian Pulisic - Closing in on return Pulisic (lower leg) trained fully for the first time in the summer on Tuesday, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Pulisic has completed his rehab from a microfracture and will now work on his conditioning after missing the entire preseason due to an injury he suffered in the World Cup. He's considered likely to be sidelined for at least the opener, but he's making progress.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Christopher Nkunku - Excluded from the squad Nkunku has been ousted by the Milan management and new coach Ruben Amorim and won't participate in the first two matches, La Gazzetta dello Sport relayed.

Impact Nkunku is no longer practicing with the first team, like Fikayo Tomori and Youssouf Fofana, and is searching for a new home. He was a rotational piece last year and totaled seven goals and three assists in 32 appearances (15 starts). Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Adrien Rabiot and Alphadjo Cisse will get some opportunities as no.10s while Rafael Leao (thigh) and Christian Pulisic (lower leg) are 100 percent.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Fikayo Tomori - No longer part of the plans Tomori isn't training with the group and won't be selected for the first rounds, as Milan decided to sell him, Gianluca Di Marzio reported.

Impact Tomori has been asked to find a new team, as his time with Milan is coming to an end after six seasons. Mario Gila, Koni De Winter and Sankhoun Diawara will substitute for him until the team finds a new option.

AUGUST 19 • ROTOWIRE

Youssouf Fofana - Frozen out by the team Fofana has been put on the market and won't be involved in the first two matches, Mediaset reported.

Impact Fofana has been a regular in the last two campaigns, but the club and new coach Ruben Amorim have decided to go in another direction. He won't be called up while the negotiations are ongoing. Ardon Jashari, Yunus Musah and Christian Comotto will absorb his minutes in the early going.
