The Story in 60 Seconds

MilanNews and Oliver Fisher argue that AC Milan's inconsistent form and recent defeat to Bologna highlight significant squad shortcomings under head coach Ruben Amorim. The analysis contends that the squad lacks sufficient depth and quality in reserve options to handle competing in both Serie A and the Europa League every three days, with Amorim noting fatigue right from the start.
