Abate: AC Milan cleared air over Gattuso row

AC Milan youngster Ignazio Abate admits there was plenty of chat amongst the players over the controversy for last week's derby defeat.

Plenty was centred on the failure of Milan to get an injured Rino Gattuso substituted before his red card.

"Let's look ahead and go to Livorno to take three points," said Abate. "The chaos that followed the story of the failure to replace Gattuso? These things happen on the field.

"So, it's important to look at each other and clarify. We're all wearing a glorious shirt and we must go forward."
