Vitiello: Milan captain back in training ahead of Liverpool clash – Thiaw still sidelined | OneFootball

Davide Calabria was back in full training earlier today as AC Milan initiated preparations for the Liverpool clash at Milanello earlier today. However, as a report also points out, Malick Thiaw is still on the sidelines.

Calabria picked up a slight knock to his right leg in recent days and thus missed the game against Venezia last night. Emerson Royal was the starter and with Liverpool coming up next, many were hoping for a quick recovery from the captain.

As reported by Antonio Vitiello this afternoon, this is exactly what they got as Calabria worked with the rest of the group from start to finish today. Thiaw, on the other hand, continued his personal program on the pitch and it’s unlikely that he will be back in time for the Liverpool game.

Given that Milan played yesterday, all of the starters (except for Mike Maignan) worked in the gym today while the rest of the squad was out on the pitch. The proper preparations for the big clash will thus begin tomorrow, with the game scheduled for 21:00 on Tuesday.

It remains to be seen if Emerson Royal or Calabria will be the starting right-back, though one would have to assume that the captain is the favourite.
