During the press conference presenting Genoa - Milan, Sergio Conceição announced the last-minute withdrawal of three players due to muscle issues:
"This continuity and consistency that we must have in the team with the new system, we work day by day on this: defensively, offensively, in terms of balance. The players are starting to understand better what we want in the team’s dynamics. Then there are setbacks, maybe something could come up for tomorrow as happened with Jovic in Venice."
Conceicao added:
"My feeling is that everyone is important, I count on everyone. They are prepared to play, confidence for all. Jovic is better, he has done three training sessions with us. Abraham stopped due to a physical issue: him, Bondo, and Sottil."
A hint of concern in the Milan camp regarding Abraham’s physical condition ahead of the Coppa Italia final on May 14 against Bologna.
The English forward suffered a strain to the rectus femoris of his right thigh. The player will be re-evaluated in the next 24 hours and is at risk for the decisive match at the end of this season. For Warren Bondo, it is a trauma to the right ankle, while for Riccardo Sottil, the diagnosis is a strain to the right external obturator muscle, as told by Calciomercato.com.
