As well as the bad of results, the umpteenth muscle injury for Pato and the numerous other injured players, there is a "thought" more for Massimiliano Allegri: Christian Abbiati. It is too soon to draw conclusions, but the slip against Udinese, crucial to the result, has left some doubt over the AC Milan goalkeeper. It nowremains to be seen if Abbiati is still a guarantee for Milan.

The difficult time for the defence , which in five official matches has taken nine goals, is not helping him, but he does not seem the same player as last season, when he closed the season with only 21goals suffered. Against Inter, in the Italian Super Cup, he was not always precise, against Lazio and Napoli, he left much to be desired. Up until the mistake against Udinese, that has cost Milan dearly. Although the good performance against Barcelona in the Champions League can not be forgotten. Milan needs an Abbiati focused and secure in ninety minutes. The real Abbiati, that gives guarantees.
