Some good news arrived from Milanello on Wednesday, where AC Milan are preparing for their clash with Lazio on Sunday.
Milan have taken seven points from nine to begin the new campaign, with the most recent result being a 1-1 draw against Juventus in which they conceded a late equaliser. A third away game in four follows, and it is a trip to face Gennaro Gattuso’s Lazio, who have three wins from three.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, there were some positive signs from training, which resumed yesterday. Matteo Gabbia worked in the gym, but his ankle condition is clearly improving. The defender will return to full training with the rest of the squad today or tomorrow.
It remains to be seen whether he’ll be called up for the trip to face Roma, but the goal is to have him play next week in the Europa League at San Siro against Benfica, when the head coach rUBEN Amorim plans to rotate a bit.
For Mario Gila, there are no unpleasant surprises. As was the case on Monday, the former Lazio player hasn’t experienced any new discomfort in his patellar tendon and will therefore be available at the Olimpico.
Luka Modric celebrated his 41st birthday yesterday, and had to run through a tunnel with (playful) slaps from his team-mates before training. We will see if he gets the nod to face the Biancocelesti.
“New details have emerged regarding the deal that brought Youssouf Fofana to Sevilla at the end of last transfer window . According to what MilanNews.it has learned , the Andalusian club will pay 40% of the French midfielder’s salary, not the 8% reported in recent hours in Spain.
This is an important aspect of the deal, considering Fofana moved to Spain on loan. It will now be crucial for the player to regain consistency and performance, allowing him to relaunch himself during the season and then return to Milan with a different valuation.”
