Defence worries Milan boss Allegri

By Football Italia staff

Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri may have a defensive headache ahead of the away game at Catania.

The tactician will definitely be without centre-back Mario Yepes as his booking against Juventus means he will be suspended.

There are also concerns about the fitness of Philippe Mexes as he picked up a knock to his left knee in the 1-0 win.

Allegri is without centre-back Daniele Bonera because of injury.

As a result, the Rossoneri may be forced to field a centre-back pairing of Francesco Acerbi and Cristian Zapata in Sicily.

Acerbi has played in just four Serie A games this term, while the Colombian has appeared in just one more.
