Inzaghi on the outer at Milan

AC Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri has revealed that Filippo Inzaghi is no longer training with the club’s first team.

The 38-year-old striker has been relegated to the club’s periphery, making just three appearances to date this season as he finds himself behind Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robinho, Alexandre Pato and Stephan El Shaarawy in the pecking order at San Siro.

Earlier this month, Inzaghi had suggested that he could stay at Milan, with the veteran hitman setting his sights on the record for the all-time leading goal-scorer in UEFA competitions.

However, Allegri believes that Inzaghi has no place in the team, telling Sky Sport 24: “I am sorry for him.”

“He is a player who is part of Milan’s history, he has shown great enthusiasm, but I have to make choices.”

“He has not been training with the team for some time and he is not in my plans because of this, he is not available.”

Milan CEO Adriano Galliani stated on Monday that Inzaghi would have to leave the squad if he hoped to find regular first-team action before hanging up his boots.

Inzaghi has been linked with relegation-threatened Novara, whose coach, Attilio Tesser, confessed last week that he was interested in signing the former Italy international.
