Gabbia is out. He's still recovering from inflammation. We hope that he will return as soon as possible. Lofuts-Cheek had all his teeth fixed. Gimenez has completed all his pre-training. He's in good condition. He might start training with the team next week. It's a good sign, a good recovery.
The news from February doesn't carry the same weight as the news from March-April, because just one or two wins are enough for the world to change. However, we are at the lowest point in the relationship between the current Milan and the current Allegri. Allegri is unhappy with many things, with the management of the Rossoneri transfer market, with the confusion that still reigns at the corporate level, with the ownership, and with the interlocutors within the club.
In fact, as Corriere dello Sport, via MilanNews24, wrote this morning, the cancellation of that deal would suggest that a 'significant investment' will be made in the summer. The primary objective for the management is clear, to provide Massimiliano Allegri with the world class striker he has been asking for since he arrived.
I have already done it publicly. I am not proud of it. I have done something that is probably unsportsmanlike. It is true it was a little touch, you shouldn't do it, especially a coach. I understand that he [Saelemaekers] was angry. I apologise to the coach [Allegri], I have already done so to [Milan] players Luka [Modric], [Mike] Maignan and Saelemaekers. I will learn from this and I hope I don't do it again in my career.
Youssouf Fofana has been a key player under all three of his AC Milan head coaches so far, and it seems Massimiliano Allegri is trying to build the midfielder up. Milan tried desperately to bring Fofana to the club last summer; it seemed that they would have to wait until the summer just gone to land the midfielder initially. However, they eventually got a deal done, and it was worth it.
This morning, Gerry Cardinale attended Milanello to show his support for AC Milan, and he is currently meeting a few key members of staff. It has been a while since Cardinale, the owner of RedBird and Milan, has been seen in a Rossoneri setting. In fact, his lack of visibility around the club in recent times has been widely criticised by the fans and the media. However, things could change, with the American businessman present at the training ground this morning.
