Fabio Borini has defended AC Milan's inconsistency this season.

The attacker insists the amount of summer arrivals is still a factor.

“We've had a good week of intense training, the mood is positive and we'll start to see more of the work we've done with the Coach now," Borini told Sky Sport Italia.

“The problem is that the opposition teams know they are facing Milan, so they won't let us play and it's difficult for us to break them down.

"We also have a lot of players who are new to Serie A from different Leagues and it takes a while to adapt."
