The alarm has passed, bringing a sigh of relief. Strahinja Pavlovic came off looking uncomfortable in the 71st minute of Sunday evening’s Serbia-Netherlands match, which was played as part of the second round of Nations League fixtures. Serbian media had reported an unspecified physical issue for the left-footed centre-back, and Milan immediately set about finding out exactly what had happened.
In fact, Strahinja Pavlovic was only suffering from minor muscular fatigue, and his condition is not causing concern within the Rossoneri camp. So far, the defender has not missed a single minute for either AC Milan or the national team. It is therefore only natural for him to be feeling a little tired. That is why he could finally be given a rest in Thursday’s match against Germany. Milan are monitoring the situation and waiting to see how things develop.
Meanwhile, those who were not away on international duty return to training at Milanello today after eight days off. Among them are several key players, including Christian Pulisic, Mario Gila and Alexis Saelemaekers, writes La Gazzetta dello Sport today in its print edition.
