AC Milan squad is preparing well in training after the defeat on penalties against Valencia a couple of days ago. Stefano Pioli is testing and evaluating his options and the players who are available for him. The game against Real Madrid is much-awaited because it will serve as a good test.
Coach Pioli is hoping to find again one of the team's pillars who contributed a lot to last season's good run, Simon Kjaer.
As reported by Il Corriere dello Sport in today's print edition, the 32-year-old centre-back is working hard to be ready. The former Sevilla defender wants to be at least called up to the game against Los Blancos after the return post-European holidays just about week ago.
