After making a lively cameo in the Coppa Italia, the Everton loanee may make his first start for the Rossoneri at Udinese on Sunday
Vincenzo Montella is considering handing Gerard Deulofeu his first start as he urged AC Milan to act as if their Serie A season starts when they visit Udinese on Sunday.
The Rossoneri have faltered in recent weeks as a 2-2 draw at Torino was followed up by last weekend's 2-1 home loss to Napoli, meaning they have won just once in five league matches to drop to seventh.
Milan were also knocked out of the Coppa Italia by Juventus in midweek, but put in a spirited performance in the 2-1 loss, having played the majority of the second half with 10 men due to Manuel Locatelli's red card.
