High anticipation for the derby at Milan...
The Rossoneri squad is preparing for Sunday night’s big clash against Inter, a high-stakes match worth crucial three points for the Serie A standings and team morale.
After drawing with Parma in the last game before the break, Milan wants to get back on track immediately in the most awaited match by fans, the derby itself.
Allegri hopes for good news from the medical staff, but he has already started planning strategies to try to get the better of Chivu’s Inter, who lead the table alongside Roma and are two points ahead, as pointed out by Gianluca Di Marzio's website.
But how are Milan's injured players? Who will be available for the derby? Latest updates from Milanello.
Rabiot ready for Inter-Milan, latest on Gimenez:
For Sunday night’s derby, Allegri regains Rabiot. The French midfielder, sidelined since mid-October with a muscle injury, trained with the group on Tuesday. His last game was on October 5 against Juventus in Turin. He then stopped during international duty due to a left calf soleus tear. Forty-four days later, he is back on the pitch with his teammates and available for the derby.
Gimenez continues to train separately. His inclusion remains increasingly doubtful, as his ankle problem from before Milan-Roma has not fully healed.
What is the update on returns of AC Milan players?
Today, Leao, Nkunku, Pavlovic, and Odogu returned for the morning training. Modric, who returned recently, is already in the gym. The good news for Milan is that all returning internationals are in good condition, unlike the previous break when five came back injured.
The last players to return tomorrow will be Saelemaekers, De Winter, Athekame, and Bartesaghi, with the latter joining the group that returned in recent days.
