The latest from Milanello, where Sergio Conceicao’s team trained ahead of the trip to Zagreb, against Dinamo
Le ultime da Milanello, dove la squadra di Sergio Conceicao si è allenata in vista della trasferta a Zagabria, contro la Dinamo – MilanLive.it
It was a day of eve for Sergio Conceicao’s AC Milan, who gathered at Milanello for the last training session before leaving for Zagreb. Tomorrow the Diavolo is expected to play against Fabio Cannavaro’s Dinamo for the last day of the Champions League first phase. A victory would give mathematical certainty of passage to the Round of 16 without going through the playoffs.
Milan, therefore, is ready to fly to Croatia, with no major changes from the last match, won in a comeback against Parma. Today in Carnago the group led by Sergio Conceicao was the same as the one admired on Sunday at San Siro. In fact, there is no news from the infirmary compared to the last match. Thus, Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Malick Thiaw remain out, as do Emerson Royal and Alessandro Florenzi. Tomorrow, Alex Jimenez and Luka Jovic, who were not included in the list, as well as the disqualified Davide Calabria, will also be absent.

The full-back, who was the protagonist of the post-match with Sergio Conceicao, trained regularly with the team and was at the forefront of the speech made by the Portuguese coach before the start of training. The former Porto man spoke to the team for a few minutes right during the time given to the press.

The real big training doubt is related to the right-back role. With Emerson Royal’s injury and Davide Calabria’s disqualification, Sergio Conceicao is called upon to make a different choice than those he has made since leading the Rossoneri. Kyle Walker, still listed with Manchester City, will clearly not be there either.
Thus the biggest suspect to play on the right is Filippo Terracciano. Alternatives lead to Yunus Musah, as happened in the final minutes against Parma, and Fikayo Tomori. The Englishman obviously has a good chance of returning as a starter in the center, making one of Gabbia and Pavlovic fall back. On the left side, Theo Hernandez and Leao obviously return. The Portuguese will complete the offensive department with Pulisic and Morata. In midfield, Tijjani Reijnders and Youssouf Fofana will not be touched. With them space for Ismael Bennacer, who is ahead of Musah.
