"AC Milan's training retreat got underway yesterday, in a bid to reunite the squad ahead of 180 minutes that will determine their fate. La Gazzetta dello Sport write that the 'ritiro' officially began last night with a team dinner at Milanello. Among those at the table was sporting director Igli Tare, always close to the coaching staff and players during this particularly difficult time."
"The Rossoneri are coming off two (disastrous) consecutive defeats that have complicated their quest for the Champions League when the finish line seemed so close. Now, Milan can no longer afford to slip up: they must win against Genoa and Cagliari to achieve their minimum goal. To return to winning, they must regain the solidity, unity, and cohesion lost in recent weeks. The need for the training camp - decided in full agreement between the coach and the management - stems from this shared concern."
"On Friday, the players will train at 12:00 CEST. First, a session in the video room to plan the moves needed to checkmate Daniele De Rossi's Genoa. At the Ferraris, Allegri will be without Luka Modric, who will continue his recovery plan. Alexis Saelemaekers, Pervis Estupinan, and Rafael Leao are all suspended, having picked up yellow cards in the last match against Atalanta. The three suspended players are still in training camp with the rest of the squad, a further show of the desire to build togetherness."
"The blackout of seven points in eight games could cost Milan very dearly. The term 'very dearly' is not chosen by chance, as failing to qualify for the Champions League would have a significant impact on the club's accounts and, therefore, on their spending capacity in the summer window. The team will sleep at Milanello again tonight."

Allegri will be without Luka Modric due to recovery. Alexis Saelemaekers, Pervis Estupinan, and Rafael Leao are suspended for yellow-card accumulation, but they remain with the squad in camp. Missing Champions League would significantly affect club finances and summer spending capacity.
