The Rossoneri have gone goal-less in five of their last seven Serie A outings, but the coach will not add an extra forward to his line-up
Gennaro Gattuso has ruled out playing new signing Krzysztof Piatek alongside Patrick Cutrone despite
AC Milan's goalscoring problems continuing against
Napoli.
The Rossoneri failed to score for the fifth time in their last seven league matches on Saturday as Carlo Ancelotti's side claimed a 0-0 draw at San Siro.
New signing Piatek, who arrived from
Genoa this week for a reported €35million, came off the bench for Cutrone after 71 minutes but was denied by a good David Ospina save with his only clear chance.
Despite watching his side draw a blank for the third time in four league games at home, Gattuso is not yet prepared to sacrifice a midfield player for an extra forward.
"Yes, but not right now," he told DAZN when asked if Piatek and Cutrone could play together. "I don't like getting pinned back with a line of four in midfield. You risk losing too much space.
"They won't play together for now because there's an issue of getting balance in the team. When we used two strikers, we were too unbalanced."
Gattuso was content with a share of the spoils, even if he was frustrated by some of Milan's play in the attacking third.
