No Issues for Fofana: The Midfielder Trains Fully With the Group
Excellent news from Milanello: Youssouf Fofana took full part in yesterday afternoon’s collective training session without any problem, putting to rest all concerns about his physical condition following his early exit in the last match against Verona. The French midfielder had left the pitch visibly uncomfortable but quickly reassured everyone, describing the issue as nothing more than a cramp with no structural damage.
Those words were confirmed on the training pitch: Fofana trained normally alongside the rest of the squad, including Matteo Gabbia and all other first-team members. It is encouraging news ahead of the crucial fixtures that await the Rossoneri in the closing weeks of the season.
Full Squad Available: Allegri Has Every Option Open to Him
The most significant takeaway is that Massimiliano Allegri currently has his entire squad at his disposal. No injuries, no doubtful players: all five attackers in the squad are available and ready to feature. For a manager, having a fully fit group is a luxury that should never be taken for granted, especially at this stage of a demanding season.
This means the Rossoneri’s head coach can work this week with maximum freedom of choice, testing tactical solutions and identifying the best possible lineup for the next league fixture.
Milan vs Juventus: Sunday 26 April, the Serie A Big Match
The date circled on the calendar is Sunday 26 April, when Milan will host Luciano Spalletti’s Juventus — a side going through a positive run of form and climbing back up the standings. This is the kind of match that goes well beyond three points: Milan vs Juventus is history, pride and identity all in one.
The Old Lady arrives in good shape and with renewed consistency, making tactical preparation all the more critical. Allegri knows Juventus inside out — having managed them on multiple occasions — and that deep familiarity could prove a significant strategic advantage on matchday.
The Attack: Numbers That Need to Improve
The one area requiring focused attention is the attacking department. Milan’s forward line is going through a difficult spell: goals have been hard to come by, and created chances have not been converted with the necessary regularity. This is a priority to address during the training week, because against an organised Juventus side, taking advantage of every opportunity will be essential.
That said, having the full squad available — with five attacking options to choose from — is already a positive factor in itself. A full training week allows the manager to work on mentality, composure in front of goal and team combinations. Milan are ready, and on Sunday they have every reason to put in a great performance.
