AC Milan boss Montella: Deulofeu ready for start

AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella says Gerard Deulofeu could start today against Udinese.

Deulofeu arrived on loan from Everton last week and made his debut in the closing stages against Juventus.

“It's possible he could start tomorrow," said Montella.

"He has always been seen as someone destined for greatness, so we have to work out why he hasn't quite reached that level. My job will be to get the best out of him. He's in good shape physically and really eager. He could start tomorrow."

The coach added: “Udinese are a tough side to face, as they stop you playing your game and are strong on the counter.

“Victory is fundamental and we need a great performance to achieve it. Udinese are coming off some undeserved results and will be eager to make up for those."
