Milan, Lombardy, Italy – Following their recent victory against Torino, AC Milan is now focusing on their upcoming match against Sassuolo. The team’s preparations are marked by a mix of injury concerns and anticipated returns, as reported by today’s edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Injury Updates Ahead of Sassuolo Clash
Yesterday at Milanello, several key players underwent personalized training programs to recover from injuries. Rafael Leao, Gimenez, Fofana, and Balentien are all working towards regaining full fitness. Unfortunately for the Rossoneri, Fofana is reportedly unlikely to be available for Sunday’s match. All four players are expected to be sidelined for the upcoming game against Sassuolo.
Athekame’s Return to Group Training
In more positive news, Athekame is anticipated to make a return to group training today. He has successfully recovered from a calf problem, which previously kept him out of action. His reintegration into the main squad will be a boost for coach Max Allegri as the team navigates its busy schedule.
Potential Turnover in Midfield
Looking ahead to the Sassuolo encounter, there is speculation that Max Allegri might opt for a midfield rotation. Jashari is a strong candidate to step into the starting lineup, potentially taking the place of Luka Modric. This tactical adjustment could allow for fresh legs and offer different strategic options against Sassuolo.
The team continues its rigorous training sessions at Milanello as they fine-tune their strategy and address player fitness ahead of the crucial Serie A fixture. The coaching staff will be closely monitoring the progress of all players, especially those returning from injury, to ensure the strongest possible squad is available.
The match against Sassuolo is an important fixture for Milan as they aim to maintain their momentum in the league. The outcome will depend heavily on the tactical decisions made by Allegri and the performance of the players on the field, particularly with several key figures either injured or just returning to full fitness.
Further updates on player availability and team selection are expected closer to match day.
