Milan player sends signal after difficult season by arriving over six hours early

AC Milan’s preseason preparations begin today at Milanello and the first player to arrive was Alessandro Florenzi, according to a report.

Today is ‘Raduno’, otherwise known as the day when the vast majority of the Milan squad will reconvene back at the training centre to look ahead to 2023-24 and begin their conditioning after summer vacations.

We have published an article outlining the schedule for the day, which includes a press conference from Stefano Pioli before the first team squad have their first training session of the campaign.

According to MilanPress, the first player to arrive at the sports centre in Carnago was Florenzi, who rocked up shortly after 10:30 CEST in the morning.

Given training does not begin for another six and a half hours (as of the time of arrival), it is perhaps a sign that the former Roma man wants to put a difficult season behind him after his tendon issue which kept him out for a large stretch of games.

He returned in March of this year but had only found four appearances also due to a further muscle problem. Around 20 minutes later, captain Davide Calabria arrived.
