AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri faces selection
issues ahead of his side's UEFA Champions League Group H opener against Celtic
FC on Wednesday after Stephan El Shaarawy and Riccardo Montolivo joined an
already long injury list, with Andrea Poli also in doubt.
The 20-year-old forward El Shaarawy suffered a strain on
the eve of Saturday's Serie A meeting with Torino FC and scans subsequently
revealed muscle damage in his left thigh. Meanwhile, midfielder Montolivo
suffered a similar injury during the first half of the 2-2 draw. The duo will
undergo further tests in the next few days but are certain miss the game
against the Scottish champions.
