For everyone, the training resumption in preparation for the derby is scheduled for this afternoon. Twelve national team players will be absent, but Milanello will be busier than during other breaks: Pulisic and Estupinan stayed behind, spared a new intercontinental trip by the United States and Ecuador. Gimenez and Rabiot are also present, already training yesterday.
The Rossoneri training center was entirely for them, focused on recovering from their respective injuries. They will return this morning to continue their personalized programs. There is time to regain rhythm and fitness ahead of the derby on Sunday the 23rd, as pointed out by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition.
In fact, Adrien Rabiot’s recovery is considered crucial for his technical quality and leadership, at a time when the team needs both. Allegri will give him a starting spot, while Gimenez could be useful as a substitute.
