AC Milan will be up against Feyenoord for the Champions League play-off return on Tuesday and as such, there is no time for the players to rest. Today, the ones that didn’t start yesterday were back on the Milanello pitch.
Sergio Conceicao’s side will have to overturn a 1-0 deficit on Tuesday evening and the hope is that the San Siro support will guide them there. Of course, as became evident in the Verona game last night, the team will have to improve a lot.
Today, the team was back at Milanello and those who didn’t start worked on the pitch as usual, while the starters worked more on recovery in the gym. Christian Pulisic and Rafael Leao both came off the bench and thus didn’t get the full rest, but Strahinja Pavlovic at least got that.
It remains to be seen if Conceicao will field the fantastic four or not against the Dutch side, with some concerns about the defensive balance. It’s certain, however, that Santiago Gimenez will be up against his old club once more – this time to find the back of the net.
