Milan’s training surge meets injury doubts ahead of Serie A Sunday evening 20:45 clash in Torino

Milan will return to Milanello this morning, while the fitness of defender Matteo Gabbia and forward Rafael Leao remains under scrutiny ahead of Sunday’s league debut at Torino, scheduled for 20:45. Coach Ruben Amorim granted a rest day yesterday, but the squad must now prepare for the evening kickoff, with key absences and injury updates shaping the weekend.

Rest day and training resumption

Stamattina Milan will resume training at Milanello after a day off granted by coach Ruben Amorim yesterday. The squad is back on the pitch to fine‑tune tactics before the weekend fixture. The morning session marks the first collective work since the break.

Injury updates ahead of Torino

Sunday’s league debut at Torino, scheduled for 20:45, will be played without the long‑term absentees Christian Pulisic and Santiago Gimenez, both still linked with a possible exit as Porto draws nearer to the Mexican forward. Attention now turns to the conditions of Matteo Gabbia and Rafael Leao, who missed the Ferragosto friendly in Breslavia against Manchester United. Gabbia, who suffered an ankle knock in training, is expected to recover, while Leao is dealing with muscle fatigue incurred on the eve of the Red Devils clash, despite market rumours.

Coach Amorim has indicated that goalkeeper Mike Maignan should start between the posts, as he did after the victory over Manchester United. Defender Adrien Rabiot returns from post‑World Cup holidays only on Sunday, leaving a slight doubt over his availability. Midfielder Luka Modrić, who sat on the bench for precaution in the Ferragosto test with the English, has recovered from a minor issue and is set to feature from the first minute at the Olimpico Grande Torino.

Il Milan will train every morning up to the match with the granata, followed by the customary press conference on the Saturday before the Portuguese manager’s briefing. Consistent daily sessions at Milanello are intended to cement the tactical plan and restore full fitness across the roster.

By juxtaposing a full‑scale training routine with a roster still coping with key absences, Milan illustrates the dual challenge of preparation and recovery. The contrast underscores that the outcome on Sunday will hinge as much on medical updates as on tactical execution.
