"Massimiliano Allegri, however, didn't care about the temperature and had the team train on the pitch again today despite it being almost zero degrees Celsius (2°C to be precise). Heaters were turned on under the turf well before the start of the session to prevent the pitch from freezing. For the rest of this morning's session (which began at 11:30), everyone was present and in the group."
"The only player who is not available for the derby is Santiago Gimenez, the Mexican who sat out the Parma game due to a long-standing ankle problem. The former Feyenoord player continues to work on his own to regain his fitness and finally overcome the ankle pain, so he will sit in the stands. The internationals who returned from their respective coaches' call-ups reported no discomfort, and those who remained at Milanello seeking peak condition (Rabiot and Pulisic) worked well."
Bitter cold and a few snowflakes discouraged fans from gathering outside the training complex. Massimiliano Allegri held the session on the pitch despite temperatures near zero, with heaters under the turf to prevent freezing. Santiago Gimenez is unavailable for the derby due to a long-standing ankle problem and continues individual work to regain fitness. All other players attended the morning session, which began at 11:30, and returning internationals reported no discomfort. Rabiot and Pulisic trained at Milanello aiming for peak condition and, barring surprises, are expected to start on Sunday. Another session and a team retreat follow tomorrow, with Allegri's press conference before lunch.
