As our colleagues at SempreMilan.it report, there was a training session for the Milan squad at Milanello today as the squad continue preparing for the match against Spezia in the league tomorrow, plus of course the second leg against Inter.

The main news it that Leao continued with his therapy after sustaining an adductor problem against Lazio last weekend, so he worked individually – as he did yesterday – following missing Wednesday’s Champions League match.

Pioli’s plan is not to risk the Portuguese forward against Spezia, because he wants him to be fully recovered and at 100% in condition for the game next Tuesday night, while also not wanting to run even the 1% risk of potentially worsening the problem. Divock Origi is tipped to take his place on the left.
