August was a month of openers and September was a month of big games. But now, it’s October and the days are getting colder and shorter and the weight of what’s at stake is growing. And there is no exception for our Rossoneri sides, with games of different statures ahead of us, all useful for our various aims. Home and away, league and cups: here are the many dates to put into the calendar this month.
MEN’S FIRST TEAM
It will be in at the deep end for Coach Fonseca’s lads who kick off the month with their first away game in the Champions League. Leverkusen will be the first of three difficult away fixtures, in an October that closes out with another big midweek game, this time in the league against Antonio Conte’s Napoli.
