AC Milan boss Allegri: Gooch, Ibra already have made up

AC Milan boss Max Allegri insists there's been no fall-out from the Zlatan Ibrahimovic-Oguchi Onyewu brawl. The bust-up reportedly saw Onyewu grab Ibra by the throat and at least 10 teammates struggled to separate them.

"It all ended in hugs and kisses, we're happy," smiled the Coach with a hint of irony. "The truth is the whole incident was rather blown up a bit."

There are more pressing issues, such as the absence of Thiago Silva, Luca Antonini, Massimo Oddo, Daniele Bonera and the suspended Kevin Prince Boateng for the trip to Bari.

"There could also be a rest for Andrea Pirlo. I haven't yet decided the line-up, but to make you happy I'll confirm the back four: Ignazio Abate, Alessandro Nesta, Mario Yepes and Gianluca Zambrotta.

"We are coming off two important and draining games against Juventus and Real Madrid, but Bari also represent an important juncture. We have to get back into a winning stride against a team that plays well, despite their position in the table, and who are going to give it the performance of their lives."
