Strahinja Pavlovic's shoulder discomfort is the one issue hanging over AC Milan before the trip to Genoa. He will be tested in this morning's training session before Genoa vs AC Milan tomorrow afternoon at the Ferraris, with Ruben Amorim still waiting on a final defensive call.
Pavlovic's fitness check
Corriere dello Sport, via TuttoMercatoWeb, reported that the defender will be tested in training and could still grit his teeth because of the importance of the match. That leaves Strahinja Pavlović in the middle of the only real selection question, even though he has played 90 minutes in each of his last five appearances.
He has also made 10 appearances for Milan across all competitions in 2026. The shoulder issue is a late fitness check, not a workload problem.
Milan's position before the trip
The wider team picture still looks comfortable enough. Milan have scored 21 goals in their first 10 league games under Ruben Amorim and sit fifth in Serie A with 21 points from 10 matches.
There has been some outside expectation that Pavlovic will start, but the reporting is not fully aligned. TMW's line is only one doubt for the coach, and the defender still has to come through training before anyone can treat him as available. Milan's attack has given them a margin, but the decision on Pavlovic is still the main thing to watch on the eve of the Genoa trip.
