There are even three new stops, to those already known by Omar Colley and Abdelhamid Sabiri is also added that of Manolo Gabbiadini.

IBRAHIMOVIC – Zlatan Ibrahimovic is getting closer to returning to the field. This is the news arriving today from Milanello, waiting for the Rossoneri to return to play tonight at the Olimpico against Roma for the postponement of the 19th matchday. Here is what is highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport: “A long overdue moment, as part of Z’s recovery program, who until now had been working out in the gym or dry. Or without the ball. From today there is one step less on the way back, which however is not yet subject to certain forecasts. The goal of dreams – of Zlatan and of the entire AC Milan world – would be the first leg of the round of 16 against Tottenham, Ibra is working for it. We will understand better in the coming days ”, she reads.

JUVENTUS – This week at Juventus will be a very important week as regards Dusan’s return Vlakhovic and Paul Pogba. He reports it Tuttosport: “Time is ticking also for Dusan Vlahovic and Paul Pogba: Thursday’s home match against the youth team will tell if the Serbian forward and the French midfielder are ready to end up on the squad list for Sunday’s match against Monza. The two Bianconeri, who had already taken part in the friendly match against Fossano last week, are forging ahead to be available again in an official match as well. Which would be the first of the season for the Octopus”.

ARNAUTOVIC – Bologna awaits Marko’s return to the field Arnautovic. Today the striker played did different work with the rest of the group who did the work of unloading while he was intercepted in the stands of the Dell’Ara stadium and directly asked about his return to the field, as written by The Corriere dello Sport, he replied jokingly: “When am I coming back? Only God knows, I don’t.” As reported by coach Thiago Motta before the match against Cremonese, Arnautovic hasn’t trained on the pitch yet but the next few sessions will be decisive in re-evaluating his conditions and understand if there are margins for a call-up for the match against Spezia scheduled for Friday.

LUKAKU – Rejection without appeal for Romelu Lukaku after the remnant of the game played against Empoli: “It is clearly far from the best condition thanks to the double muscle problem in the left thigh and the recent inflammation in the knee. He looks like the stunt double of the bomber who had given Conte the Scudetto because the long stops have undermined his physique. Last night Inzaghi needed the best Romelu and instead spent him for the last 13′ plus added time. A sign of how much he is still behind. Almost as much as Inter in the Scudetto race which, at the end of January, they have already abandoned”, he writes The Sports Gazette.

TURIN – Torino coach Ivan Juric has to deal with problems in defence. He writes Tuttosport: “If there is Saturday against Empoli, Koffi Djidji will be forced to wear a protective face mask. However, the if is big, because at the moment the only certainty is that yesterday morning the defender underwent surgery to reduce the broken nose he repaired on Saturday night at the Franchi stadium in a clash with Luka Jovic in the second half… Recover Djidji, at least for the bench, but it will also be important because Schuurs is also among the players who are not in perfect condition. The Dutchman, who remained on the bench all the time against Fiorentina due to the injury suffered against Spezia, also yesterday he did a differentiated job and was unable to train with his teammatesbut Juric hopes that by Saturday his number 3 will be fully recovered, otherwise Buongiorno will once again lead the defensive line with Rodriguez on the left”.

SPICE – The latest news from Spezia in anticipation of the match against Bologna in the next round. He writes The XIX Century: “Bartlomiej Dragowski and Emil Holm should be regulars on the pitch next Friday in the match against Thiago Motta’s Bologna at the Dall’Ara. Yesterday morning, at the restart, the Polish goalkeeper, in an unloading session for those who had played against Roma, immediately trained with his colleagues Marchetti and Zovko, dispelling the many doubts that arose after his exit from the Peak, limping conspicuously at the final triple whistle. Doubts about the ankle injury at Bentegodi, above all. For Holm, who instead only did the gym with a few companions, the medical staff took at least 24 hours of time to evaluate the groin pain that the Swede suffered after a blow received in the initial part of the match, but it is thought to be only a strong contusion”.

FLORENTINE – News for Fiorentina today when training resumes: Giacomo Bonaventure he showed up at the sports center wearing a protective mask. As reported by FlorenceViola, the midfielder suffered a fractured nasal septum Saturday against Turin. In any case, his presence on the pitch against Lazio on Sunday afternoon is not in doubt at the moment.

LECCE – Good news for Lecce in view of Friday evening’s match against Salernitana. As reported by the club: “Blin, Gendrey and Umtiti have resumed regular training with the group“. All three are therefore recovered from their respective injuries against Verona and are available to coach Marco Baroni.

VERONA – Yesterday the news of the breaking of the crusader for Thomas Henry and the ankle surgery for Ajdin Hrustic but there is still good news in the Verona house: “Simone Verdi’s return to the group is expected this week, who will work together with his companions after having disposed of the slight overload on the right hamstring warned with the Cremonese. Instead, Marco will still have to bite the brakes Pharaohs, who will return in February”.
