As Real Madrid prepares to face AC Milan in their upcoming UEFA Champions League match, the Italian side has experienced some exciting news regarding player availability.
A report from Milan News has revealed that two of Milan’s key players, Luka Jovic and Davide Calabria, participated fully in training yesterday, suggesting they could feature in the clash against Real Madrid.
Following a disappointing 0-2 defeat to Napoli, AC Milan quickly shifted their focus to their next fixture against Monza, set for Saturday.
While Calabria made it to the bench against Napoli, he was not risked by the Italian side, but things could change by next week.
The return of Jovic and Calabria is certainly encouraging for Milan as they seek to strengthen their squad ahead of this crucial match against one of Europe’s top teams.
Both players are expected to be available for selection, providing Milan with added depth and experience.
Tammy Abraham certain to miss
Additionally, there is positive news regarding Tammy Abraham, who is making progress in his recovery from a shoulder injury sustained during a recent match against Udinese.
The England forward has been unable to play since suffering what is believed to be a dislocated shoulder. He participated in the initial part of the training session with his teammates at Milanello before stepping aside to focus on individual exercises.
His return, although unlikely, would be a significant boost for Milan as they look to regain their momentum.
Despite these positive updates, AC Milan must confront the reality of their recent form, which has been far from satisfactory.
They have managed to secure only four victories out of their nine league matches this season, and their overall performance has been inconsistent.
In fact, they have only won two of their last five encounters, highlighting the challenges they face as they prepare for a high-stakes match against Real Madrid.
As they approach this important UEFA Champions League fixture, Milan will need to harness every ounce of optimism they can muster. Facing Real Madrid will require Milan to elevate their performance significantly.
