Milan squad to be given weekend off after Futuro training match

AC Milan’s remaining players will be given this weekend off, according to a report, after taking part in an intra-squad friendly.

As expected for a squad of Milan’s, several members are away on international duty – something which has been looked at already – and Paulo Fonseca has been tasked with finding new solutions for the players who have remained.

It has been a difficult season already for Fonseca, and he is already being tasked with saving his job once again. The credit from the Inter win has run out, and questions are being asked about his ability to manage the squad.

With several players departed, the big thing about the international break is finding a solution, and to ensure that players remain fresh, he has given the first team squad the weekend off to recover after playing an intra-squad friendly against the Futuro squad in today’s training, as per the Milan website.

Whilst the players may not be present at the weekend, it is imaginable that the Portuguese head coach will not be taking a weekend off, and his focus will be firmly on getting his side out of the rut they currently find themselves in for their sake, and his.
