AC Milan resumed full training at Milanello on Wednesday following a rest day, with the squad preparing for Saturday's crucial Serie A fixture against Lazio. Manager Ruben Amorim oversees a squad largely fit and available, though one key defender faces a fitness race against time.
The Italian side returned to collective work after their midweek encounter with Juventus, and the bulk of the squad participated in standard session intensity. Mario Gila trained with the group despite leaving the Juventus match late with a minor physical complaint, suggesting his involvement against the Biancocelesti remains on track.
Gabbia Sidelined, Amorim Monitoring Situation
Matteo Gabbia, the Italian defender, was the sole absentee from team training. The centre-back continues managing an ankle inflammation and completed only personalised gym work away from his teammates. Amorim will reassess Gabbia tomorrow to determine his availability for the Lazio trip, leaving the decision hanging until the final 48 hours before kickoff.
Gabbia's potential absence would require Milan to shuffle their defensive line for a demanding away fixture. With Serie A's intensity increasing as the season progresses, Amorim faces tactical decisions if the 25-year-old defender is ruled out. The defensive setup against Lazio's attacking prowess could shift significantly depending on Gabbia's medical clearance.
Milan's trip to the Stadio Olimpico represents a pivotal moment in their title credentials, and a fully fit squad would boost Amorim's chances of securing points in Rome. The manager will have further clarity on squad availability after Friday's assessment.
