AC Milan’s build-up to the away trip to the Olimpico against Roma continues, with the match scheduled for Sunday evening at 20:45. Massimiliano Allegri is particularly wary of this important and tricky fixture against a side that caused his team serious problems in the reverse match earlier in the season. Crucial points are at stake, both in the race for Champions League qualification and in the title fight, as two of the most impressive teams compared to last Serie A campaign go head to head.
The most significant news of the day concerns Alexis Saelemaekers. The Belgian winger, a key piece in Massimiliano Allegri’s tactical setup, has returned to full training with the group just four days after suffering a muscle issue to his left adductor in the last league match against Lecce. There is also improvement for Strahinja Pavlović, who is expected to return to the starting eleven after receiving nine stitches following a collision during the game against Fiorentina.
Saelemaekers’ return to group training is excellent news for Allegri, but a decision on whether he will be called up for the upcoming match will only be taken after the final training session scheduled for tomorrow. If the Belgian provides positive responses, a possible starting role in Rome cannot be ruled out. Otherwise, he will be ready for the following away match against Bologna.
