AC Milan head coach Stefano Pioli decided to give some players a period of rest after the win against Frosinone on Saturday night, according to a report.
According to what was reported by Peppe Di Stefano live on Sky (via MilanNews), Pioli has granted an additional day of rest to those players – for example like Christian Pulisic – who in the last period have been used with more frequency and continuity.
The rest of the team instead started work at Milanello to prepare for Saturday evening’s match against Atalanta at the Gewiss Stadium. As far as Rafael Leao is concerned, the tests he will carry out tomorrow will be decisive, to understand whether the muscle injury has healed or whether he still needs some time to recover.
The attacking department has been stretched thin because of Leao’s injury as well as Noah Okafor’s and Olivier Giroud’s two-game suspension, so the option to manage workloads seems like a wise one.
Giroud shouldn’t be given any rest, he’s been on a two game vacation
Maybe this is why they get injured. They come to work on their day off for rest 🤷♂️
Exactly my thoughts. Maybe thats the reason behind these injuries. He gives a lot of days off. Instead an extra day off, maybe light training or muscle recovery exercises etc. Im not an expert that’s why im using the word maybe.
Pioli should take some days off, like a season or two, he’s so dumb.
