"Massimiliano Allegri has given his players some rest ahead of the game against Hellas Verona next week, hoping that it will help them clear their heads. The defeat against Napoli on Thursday evening meant the Rossoneri were knocked out of the Supercoppa Italiana. Yesterday, Inter faced the same fate after being beaten by Bologna on penalties, meaning it's Napoli-Bologna in the final."
"As highlighted by Gazzetta dello Sport this morning (see photo below), the manager has already made the most of this as the players won't be back in training until Monday. They all returned to Italy from Riyadh yesterday afternoon and Allegri is hoping that the rest can help them forget about the defeat."
Allegri gave Milan players rest after the Supercoppa defeat to Napoli and scheduled training to resume on Monday. Milan were eliminated from both the Supercoppa Italiana and the Coppa Italia, leaving only the league to contest for the remainder of the season. Players returned to Italy from Riyadh yesterday afternoon. Inter were also knocked out, leaving Napoli and Bologna to contest the Supercoppa final. Allegri expects the enforced rest to help players clear their heads and plans to use additional recovery opportunities more than rival clubs. Rafael Leao and Matteo Gabbia are targets to return for the Verona match, while Santiago Gimenez faces a 6-8 week recovery after surgery.
