Some bad news has arrived regarding the condition of Ante Rebic two days before the huge top four decider against Atalanta in Bergamo.
Speaking on Sky Italia (via MilanNews) live from Milanello, Manuele Baiocchini reported on the state of some players in view of the trip north to Bergamo. Today’s main news is that Rebic was not in great shape and was kept ‘in half service’ as a precaution. Today he had half of the session with the team, and the other half he did alone in the gym.
In the tactical tests, Leao was the centre-forward in place of Rebic, with Brahim Diaz, Hakan Calhanoglu and Alexis Saelemaekers behind him. What filters is that for Rebic it is nothing serious, so it seems the one battle is between Leao and Brahim for a starting spot.
For the first time in several days, Mandzukic had a great workout and Sky have apparently been told he is in good shape, but it is clear he does not have 90 minutes in his legs.
Wow what a sissy… if you can play at all you play in this massive game. Sorry buddy but if you didn’t tear anything, get on the field. This is not a game we can afford to have any starters out especially without Ibra.
This year Milan was plagued by inconsistency from a bunch of over-rated players. Several players contracting COVID 19 and missing out due to injuries- very few were the days when the whole complement or most of it was available to Pioli. This inconsistency, from 10 goals scored in 2 games, one of which involving nothing less than Juve, has practically ruined the season and could contribute towards missing a Champions league spot. Fans expect much better from a team of Milan’s calibre!
