With the international break approaching, the AC Milan head coach Ruben Amorim has given his players eight days off, with training set to resume at Milanello on Tuesday, September 29.
In the absence of the 15 players called up by their respective national teams, the group remaining in Italy will be supplemented by several young players from Milan Futuro.
Upon their return to training, the team will face a demanding run of fixtures: starting on October 11, with the away match against Sassuolo, the Rossoneri will play seven games in just 18 days across Serie A and the Europa League, playing every three days or less and facing four of their next five matches away from San Siro, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
Amorim must manage his team carefully:
This packed run of fixtures will require Amorim to carefully manage the squad's workload and rotations, both to remain in touch with the top positions in the league and to make amends for the home defeat to Benfica in their European opener without compromising their progress in the competition.
