There's a bit of light returning at Milan. After the defeat at the hands of Atalanta, which pushed the Rossoneri even further away from qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League, Sergio Conceicao can find some consolation in the return of two key players ahead of the Coppa Italia derby against Inter, which serves as the second leg of the tournament's semifinals.
Latest on Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kyle Walker:
As reported by Sky Sport, both Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Kyle Walker took part in the full training session with the group today at Milanello.
It’s worth recalling that the full-back, on loan from Manchester City, had suffered a fractured elbow and even underwent surgery to speed up his recovery. The English midfielder, on the other hand, was struck by an appendicitis attack during the away match in Naples.
Fortunately for Milan, both have now returned to group training and, barring any further setbacks, should be available to coach Conceicao for the derby.
Of the two, the one most likely to start in the derby against Inter is certainly Walker, who—given his experience in do-or-die matches—could take Alex Jimenez’s spot in the lineup.
