The full picture
Strahinja Pavlovic is not expected to play for Milan against Ferencvaros in their Europa League game, according to Football Italia, citing Sky Sport Italia and Milan Press. The game is scheduled for Thursday at 17.45 GMT at San Siro. Pavlovic was absent from today's training session and won't be on the bench. Milan is already missing several other players due to injuries and suspensions.
Pavlovic's absence is not due to an injury, but rather a decision by Coach Ruben Amorim to give him a break after playing 97% of Milan's football this season. He has started all 10 Serie A fixtures and three Europa League games, totaling 1,161 minutes, more than any other Milan player, including goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
Pavlovic's last non-start was in February 2026, when Milan lost 1-0 to Parma at home. The defender has been a consistent starter for Milan this season, and his break is likely a precaution to avoid fatigue.

Source context
Strahinja Pavlovic is not expected to be part of the Milan squad for tomorrow’s Europa League game with Ferencvaros, but it is not due to an injury. It kicks off at San Siro on Thursday at 17.45 GMT (18.45 CET). According to Sky Sport Italia, Milan Press and more, the defender was nowhere to be seen in today’s training session, and will not even be on the bench for this fixture. However, that does not mean another new injury scare for a side that is already missing Fikayo Tomori, Matteo Gabbia, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Samuel Chukwueze, Alexis Saelemaekers, Pietro Terracciano and suspended Mike Maignan.
