MN: AC Milan sweating on fitness of four key players ahead of Udinese game

Four of AC Milan’s key first team members trained separately from the rest of the squad at Milanello on Thursday afternoon, a report claims.

There were four notable absentees from head coach Stefano Pioli’s 21-man squad to face SPAL in the Coppa Italia on Wednesday night.

It was revealed that Gianluigi Donnarumma has a thigh problem which saw his older brother Antonio get the nod in goal, making history while keeping a clean sheet, and Davide Calabria missed out with a right ankle sprain.

Centre-back Mateo Musacchio has a left ankle contusion which means Simon Kjaer got his first start, and Hakan Calhanoglu was forced to sit on the sidelines due to a calf issue.

According to the latest from MilanNews.it, Donnarumma, Calabria, Musacchio and Calhanoglu all did personalised work and did not train with their team-mates today.

On Friday, there will be a check of the condition of the quartet to understand if they will be available for Sunday’s match against Udinese at San Siro, which will kick off at 12:30.
