AC Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri believes there is time for his side to recover from its disappointing start to the campaign.

"From Wednesday we will have all players here and we will prepare for this important month in Serie A and in the Champions League," he told Milan Channel. "We collected few points in these five games, so we have to move forward and evaluate all the positive and negative aspects of this start to the season."

The Serie A champions have so far failed to impress in the current edition of the league as they sit 15th in the table, with five points from as many games.

The international break has given Allegri some time to assess the team's current form as it trails the top of the table by six points already.

"The league will resume with us having some players back and with the calmness that will allow us to play with just the right tension, but without much nervousness," he continued. "Milan have not lost our value because of the defeats to Juventus and Napoli. Of course we would like to have more points, but the season is long and we will have plenty of time to recover."
