The AC Milan squad were back at work this morning with the derby against Inter now just two days away, and some good news has emerged.
Calciomercato.com report that Olivier Giroud carried out the full training session with the rest of the squad. After returning to Milanello early following an ankle sprain with France he had been doing individual work, but now he is fully back.
Today’s session was always likely to be the major indicator and he seems to have therefore passed the test. It is a huge boost for Stefano Pioli and for the Rossoneri, because Giroud’s charisma, experience and eye for goal cannot be ignored in an emotional match like that of the Milan derby.
The French striker will be the centre-forward against the Nerazzurri, with Rafael Leao on his left and Christian Pulisic on his right.
Pierre Kalulu did not train with the group and will undergo instrumental tests to define the extent of the muscle injury he suffered at the beginning of the week.
Well that’s fabulous news ,it really is ,as we are a better team when Olivier starts a match
If the medical fraternity says he is fit ,then that’s good enough for me …
That said we must balance the situation that is to use our full squad ,given the amount of games coming up .Yes at this moment in time I am delighted that both pulisic and Olivier Giroud will start the match .
All squad players must be given a chance to prove that they can contribute..
Yes it’s a big match coming up.
We are AC Milan .
