In predictably chaotic Serie A fashion, it is still not certain whether the game at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris will be played on Sunday or Monday, due to uncertainty surrounding the Rome derby. However, Milan know one thing: they need to win in Genoa for their top four hopes.
Key duo back
After Sunday’s disappointing defeat against Atalanta and yesterday’s first day of training, the retreat imposed by Massimiliano Allegri and his staff officially began today at Milanello, according to MilanNews.
The team will be called upon to show pride and character to avoid throwing away 10 months of work, especially since fourth place – which would mean qualification for next season’s Champions League – is seriously at risk.
Good news has arrived from the treatment room at the training ground ahead of the next match against Genoa. Allegri can breathe a huge sigh of relief as both Christian Pulisic and Davide Bartesaghi trained with the team today.
Considering the suspensions Rafael Leao and Pervis Estupinan will serve for having reached the threshold of yellow cards accumulated, these two recoveries ahead of the match at the Ferraris are invaluable.
