MN: Fofana returns to full training – the latest on Leao, Gimenez and Gabbia

The AC Milan squad returned to training on Monday to begin preparing for their trip out to Saudi Arabia for the Supercoppa Italiana.

After yesterday’s draw against Sassuolo at San Siro, MilanNews confirm that Massimiliano Allegri had the team back in training today at Milanello ahead of the Super Cup semi-final against Napoli, scheduled for Thursday in Riyadh.

There is good news regarding Youssouf Fofana, who did a full session with the rest of his team-mates. He should therefore be available for the game against the Italian champions – a welcome boost for the midfield given how much Allegri has been using him as the right mezzala in the 3-5-2 system.

However, there are no further positive developments. Rafael Leao and Santiago Gimenez continued their individual work. Matteo Gabbia, meanwhile, underwent therapy after the knee injury sustained against the Neroverdi which looks like keeping him out of the Napoli game.

As a reminder, Milan are heading to defend their Supercoppa Italiana crown having beaten their biggest rivals Juventus and Inter back in January to lift the 2024-25 edition. They will do so with a depleted attack though it appears, unless Leao and Gimenez make a recovery in the next couple of days.
