MN: Loftus-Cheek rejoins training at last – optimism grows ahead of Saturday

By Oliver Fisher -

The good news for AC Milan regarding injured players seems to be very much interspersed between various bits of bad news, but a positive update on Ruben Loftus-Cheek has arrived.

MilanNews relay an update regarding Loftus-Cheek’s fitness ahead of the game against Fiorentina scheduled for Saturday evening at San Siro, as the English midfielder worked together with the rest of the squad today.

He missed the last away match in Lecce due to muscle fatigue that he felt after the game against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League, and then he has also been battling a gastrointestinal virus over the international break.

Loftus-Cheek’s last appearance in Serie A dates back to the home match against Lazio on 30 September and the chances of having the former Chelsea player ready for Saturday are increasing.

However, there will be an extra eye towards the Champions League match on Tuesday against Borussia Dortmund, which could end up being decisive in who goes through in the group.
